East London offers multicultural, multilingual and vibrant schools in which to learn, but your training at UEL will qualify you to teach anywhere in England or Wales. UEL's Primary Education with QTS team is made up of experienced practitioners and researchers, who research a range of childhood issues and who have diverse experience in primary and early years' education. With high graduate employability, this qualification provides a wide range of opportunities for career development across the primary education sector.
