Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Primary Education with Mathematics (QTS) (XG11)

Study BA Primary Education with Mathematics Specialism (QTS) and discover how one can champion mathematics within primary education and build pupils' confidence as mathematicians. This course will enable students to get a job as a primary school teacher following graduation. There is a high demand for specialist primary school teachers and many graduates go on to become subject leaders.

Students will divide their time between studying modules on professional skills and curriculum subjects, and developing their knowledge of mathematics. The former will introduce them to the core National Curriculum subjects, including Information and Communications Technology (ICT). Students will develop skills essential to the role of a teacher, including leadership, classroom management, and evaluation and assessment. Students can then put these skills into practice through professional placements, which take place throughout the course.

Additionally, students will study professional legal requirements, and investigate the role of the teacher and how children develop. In mathematics they will study both pure and applied aspects, and build on their knowledge each year.

Students will have the opportunity to carry out placements throughout this course. These will take place within local schools that the Institute of Education has active relationships with. Whilst there, students will be mentored by a teacher and linked to a University tutor, who will provide them with additional support.
