Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Primary Education and Teaching Studies (Sandwich Year)

The programme provides theoretical and practical learning modules that underpin knowledge and understanding of concepts of education and teaching, which are relevant to both the current practice in schools and the changing context of education.

As well as international opportunities, students may be able to conduct critical research alongside the highly experienced staff, learn from guest visitors and take part in an invaluable placement year (subject to availability). This comprehensive degree will equip students to engage, motivate and inspire young learners in a wide range of schooling environments.

From child development theories to consideration of varied perspectives of primary education, students will learn responsive and innovative techniques to support effective curriculum delivery, drawing on advanced knowledge of child development and theoretical perspectives.

During the year, there are a number of practical elements to help cement students' knowledge of primary education and teaching. Students may have the opportunity to take part in visits to special schools within the local area, and opportunities for work experience alongside their academic commitments for a more rounded learning experience.
