You can work in educational research, looking at the latest neuroscience and working out how this could impact teaching and learning or you could work for companies (or set up your own) that create resources such as videos, software and textbooks. You could be an Educational Psychologist or work in Early Years Education. In the project you will learn the key aspects of lesson planning and put together your own resources and lesson plan to teach content of your choosing.
