Course Summary

Our four-year degree programmes (including a foundation year) provide an alternative route to undergraduate study at university if you do not have the grades to access higher education in the traditional way. On successful completion of the Education Foundation Year pathway you will need to complete the government skills tests in numeracy and literacy, pass an interview process and obtain a DBS and fitness to teach check in order to progress on to the undergraduate programme. Primary Education leads to one of the most fulfilling and rewarding careers. Our degree programme trains you to teach children aged 5 to 11 years old. It teaches you how to educate and inspire future generations, and gives you the perfect foundation for future pathways such as educational leadership. You will gain an in-depth knowledge of primary education with three years to acquire the relevant knowledge and skills needed to be an outstanding teacher.
