Course summary

This is your chance to make a real difference to the next generation of thinkers, makers and dreamers. Here, you will learn about education from many different viewpoints from across the world. You will think about curriculum, learning, teaching and what inspires children to grow and flourish. Our innovative two-year degrees provide an opportunity to gain a first degree while focussing on your future ambition of becoming a teacher. This is ideal if you're convinced you want to teach primary school children, if you're thinking of changing your career, or if you're looking to gain a specialist first degree. You'll focus on key issues in education and schooling, and have opportunities for work-based experience in the UK or overseas, and be introduced to education-related research. We have guest lectures and visits from members of the local educational community as well as visits to a range of education-related settings. You will have the chance to explore topics of particular interest to you and to develop your communication and research skills. This course is distinctive as it has been specially designed to be studied over two years, supported by our enthusiastic and expert staff team. After you graduate, you can go on to work in schools as an unqualified teacher, or start initial teacher training leading to Qualified Teacher Status (e.g. PGCE).
