Undergraduate Education and Teaching

Finding the right university was extremely important and Edge Hill has everything I was looking for and more.

The early years of education is a fun, creative place where you can see the difference you are making to children’s lives.

Teaching is not just inspiring new generations, it is being actively part of that formation yourself.

My placement has been a huge learning experience, as I had never attended an English high school. It was definitely the most memorable moment of my degree so far.

I really like the passion all the lectures have at the university. This was something that really stuck with me when I first came to the open day.

I’ve been fortunate enough to complete my final year placement in a school in Cumbria – learning first-hand how rural schools operate and teach differently to city schools.

The course is not at all what I was expecting when I chose to study Religion. But in a good way. We look at religion through lots of different lenses, including sexuality, gender, feminism, family origins and disability, which I hadn’t even considered before.

Edge Hill is without doubt culturally diverse and inclusive and the tutors have been fantastic.

The world is massive and there’s lots to discover, but since joining Edge Hill, I’ve realised there’s just as much to discover about yourself.

Studying at Edge Hill gave me the support, expertise, and challenge needed to become a confident class teacher.

Edge Hill offers constant support for students no matter what the problem is, which is something I found very helpful in my first year.

That moment when a child understands a concept for the first time, it’s the most rewarding thing.

The place, the people and the support is unmatched. I am proud to say I attend Edge Hill University.

I had never gone to university before and had several years away from education, but my tutors at Edge Hill were very supportive from the start.
