UndergraduateCourse summary
The Primary Education & Teaching Studies with Foundation Year BA (Hons) course aims to provide you with a solid grounding for building a career in education and teaching. Working with children can be challenging, unpredictable and one of the most rewarding professions available. The primary education sector is responsible for educating young minds, nurturing talents and contributing directly to the development and growth of future generations. The strength of the course lies in preparing students, who are unable to follow the more traditional route onto a degree course in Primary Education & Teaching Studies. Students who successfully complete their foundation year will then progress onto the Primary Education & Teaching Studies BA (Hons). The Primary Education & Teaching Studies BA (Hons) degree part of this course aims to supply knowledgeable, enthusiastic and skilled individuals to local and national school centred teacher training institutions. It provides learners with theoretical and practical learning modules that underpin the core concepts of effective education and teaching; which are relevant to both current practice in schools and the changing context of education in this country. Throughout the course you will be provided with opportunities to undertake practical learning, through a number of professional placements in early learning settings.
