ABSTRACT

Undergraduate education programmes as distinct from courses about becoming a teacher, are ‘new kids on the block’ in England, despite already existing for many years in a range of countries around the world. Education, as a multi-disciplinary academic subject and a pathway to a diverse range of careers, is establishing itself as a popular undergraduate course in English higher education. This chapter explores an analysis of data captured in a semi-structured interview with one of the undergraduate education programme’s course founders at the authors’ university, together with the authors’ own reflections of working on the programme. This serves to illustrate the choices of foundational subjects, pedagogies and voices that make up one undergraduate education programme at a university in England, prompting readers to reflect on the history, context, content and processes of their own education programmes.
