What this course covers, who it suits and where it leads.
This course combines education with your chosen humanities subject, allowing you to explore both in depth and gain practical skills for working with children and young people. You'll usually begin with foundations in how children learn and develop, alongside early school placements and observation. As you progress, you'll study curriculum design, pedagogy, and assessment in core subjects, alongside supported classroom teaching. In your final year, you'll move to sustained practice placements and specialise in areas such as primary teaching, early years, SEND and inclusion, education policy, or QTS routes. Professional studies in behaviour management and the Teachers' Standards run throughout, culminating in assessed classroom practice.
This course suits those seeking to develop expertise in education alongside humanities knowledge, whether for teaching roles or broader educational practice. Part-time study allows you to balance academic learning with work or other commitments. You'll need to meet the university's entry requirements; check their admissions pages for details specific to this programme.

What applying to University of Lancashire from outside the UK involves: fees, English, visa, funding and living costs.
International tuition is £17,325 / year for this course (from the provider’s fee page). You’re not eligible for UK Tuition Fee or Maintenance Loans, so plan for fees plus living costs upfront.
Most UK undergraduate courses ask for around IELTS 6.0–6.5 (no band below 5.5–6.0), or an accepted equivalent. If you’re just short, most universities run a pre-sessional English course that counts towards the requirement.
You’ll usually need a Student visa (Student Route). After you accept an offer the university issues a CAS; you then show funds for fees plus about £1,023–£1,334/month living costs and pay the Immigration Health Surcharge for NHS access.
Many universities offer international/global scholarships (often £2,000–£6,000/yr), check University of Lancashire’s funding pages.
Budget roughly £1,100–£1,400/month outside London and £1,400–£1,800/month in London for rent, food and travel; the figure also matters for your visa.
A Student visa usually allows up to 20 hours/week in term time and full-time in holidays, useful alongside study, though not something to rely on for fees.
Visa rules and fees change. Always confirm the current requirements with University of Lancashire and gov.uk before you apply.
