First Year Pathway in Humanities and Education - Continue to Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Primary Education Studies

The education courses take a progressive approach and will teach students transferable skills, relevant across early years, primary teaching and beyond. Education goes beyond the classroom, and students will discover the social issues that impact on children’s and young people’s learning. Choose a humanities course to learn more about how history has shaped modern times; explore politics, social issues and public services; or tackle the philosophical questions that have captivated humanity for millenia. Based in Cambridge, Chelmsford or Peterborough (two-year accelerated degree) our course will prepare students to join postgraduate Initial Teacher Training. Students needn’t be limited to primary school teaching, though. They might have their sights set on a career in the wider education sector, cultural institutions and NGOs, or related fields such as health and social work. On this degree course students will develop their understanding of primary education, and gain the knowledge and skills to work collaboratively in a range of settings. ARU is proud to be ranked number 1 in the country for Education in the Guardian League Table 2021. The Primary Education Studies degree also scored over 90% for overall student satisfaction in the National Student Survey 2020.
