Undergraduate teacher education courses
The doors are now open on our new primary teacher education courses. Our BA (Hons) Education Studies (Primary) will give students a professional qualification to teach in primary schools. Our BA (Hons) Education Studies is a broad-based social sciences degree with an emphasis on education.
Our new courses are designed to meet the challenges as well as recognise the rewards of teaching children and young people in the 21st century. They will actively engage students in contemporary issues in psychology and sociology, helping them develop a sound knowledge base of children’s developmental pathways and the range of factors that affect them, studying, for example, the impact of poverty and deprivation in early years. Students will also learn about global health and learning inequality, the impact of adversities such as homelessness, neglect and migration, and the importance of creativity and the natural environment for our wellbeing. These courses are designed to help students engage with contemporary socio-political issues in order to help make a difference as a teacher, at an individual, community and national level.
Students will gain essential practical skills through supported placements in a range of settings, both traditional and specialised. Our courses offer a rounded and grounded education, preparing you to be an autonomous, critically thinking reflective professional.
This fresh, new approach to teacher education offers an exciting variety of learning and assessment methods.
Please Note:
The delivery of this course is subject to the terms and conditions set out in our 2019/20 Entry - Terms and Conditions (Postgraduate).
