**Course Overview**
Do you have a passion for supporting others in their learning? Are you keen to inspire others but not sure if teaching is the right path?
Well, our course is for you. If you already have a relevant teaching and learning foundation degree, DipHE or HND, you can complete just one year of studying for this top-up degree to achieve a full degree-level qualification in teaching and learning.
We have designed our programme so you can study aspects of teaching and learning, from pre-school to higher education, without committing to becoming a teacher and keeping your career options open. We give you the flexibility to carve your top-up degree based on your interests and career plan. Initially, you will learn general aspects of teaching and learning, which you can continue with, or should you want to, you can take a pathway in Early Years education or in Special Needs (SEND).
We offer a good grounding to prepare you for a range of education settings and we will also support you with the statutory skills tests if you need to take them.
