The course gives candidates a solid grounding in key topics in the anthropology of education; through detailed consideration of cases from the UK and around the world, it explores the relationship between culture, education and learning, along with the different educational forms and processes through which cultural knowledge is transmitted, and how culture impacts upon wider learning processes; candidates from backgrounds in education, teaching, social work, development, psychology and social and public policy are able to challenge the categories and assumptions inherent in standard approaches to learning and education.

Location

The University is just a 20-minute walk – or a short bus ride – from Uxbridge underground station, so it is a straightforward journey into central London. There is also a night bus that can bring you from central London to the edge of the campus. The town of Uxbridge itself, which still has buildings dating back to its time as a Georgian market town, is a thriving commercial and business centre. Its major shopping complexes, The Pavilions and the Chimes Centre, boast a wide range of shops, cafes and a nine-screen multiplex cinema.
