Teaching is a rewarding career – you’ll have the opportunity to make a difference to the life outcomes for children you’ll work with.
On this course, you’ll develop the skills, knowledge and enthusiasm to become a successful and creative teacher in two phases of education:
- Primary (KS1 and KS2)
- Early Years (EYFS).
At 性爱视频, you’ll learn from experienced and passionate members of staff. You’ll:
- explore how children develop and learn in the core subjects (English, Mathematics and Science) and the full range of other primary curriculum subjects
- develop strong and supportive relationships with young learners that nurture their wellbeing
- plan and teach engaging lessons, tailoring learning experiences to students individual needs in an ever-changing society
- critically reflect on theory, policy and classroom practice to develop your identity as a creative and research-driven teacher.
You’ll gain the confidence to apply your knowledge and ideas to both your academic studies at University and to your practice during your school placements. You’ll spend at least 120 days in a school throughout your degree – supported by a mentor and the school professional tutor. You’ll also have the opportunity to apply to study abroad.
In your final year, you’ll undertake a research project on an aspect of Primary Education that you’re passionate about. This will give you the skills to:
- conduct educational research
- interpret data
- use evidence to enrich your classroom practice.
We’ll support you at every stage of your degree. As soon as you apply, we’ll help you get ready for your interview. You’ll be supported by a personal tutor throughout the course together with module, year and course leaders. And once you’re in the final year of your degree, we’ll work with you towards applying and interviewing for your first post as a teacher. We’re also keen to keep in touch and support you in your time as an early careers teacher.
We understand that deciding where and what to study is a very important decision. We鈥檒l make all reasonable efforts to provide you with the courses, services and facilities described in this prospectus. However, if we need to make material changes, for example due to government or regulatory requirements, or unanticipated staff changes, we鈥檒l let you know as soon as possible.
性爱视频 puts children at the centre of the curriculum. I’ve been encouraged to experience the environment as a child, and to make my teaching as exciting and engaging as possible.”Amy Knight

Core modules
Core modules are taken by all students on the course. They give you a solid grounding in your chosen subject and prepare you to explore the topics that interest you most.
Autumn and spring teaching
We regularly review our modules to incorporate student feedback, staff expertise, as well as the latest research and teaching methodology. We鈥檙e planning to run these modules in the academic year 2024/25. However, there may be changes to these modules in response to feedback, staff availability, student demand or updates to our curriculum. We鈥檒l make sure to let you know of any material changes to modules at the earliest opportunity.
We鈥檒l do our best to provide as much optional choice as we can, but timetabling constraints mean it may not be possible to take some module combinations. The structure of a small number of courses means that the order of modules or the streams you choose may determine whether modules are core or optional. This means that your core modules or options may differ from what鈥檚 shown here.
Check back in January 2025 for more details of the modules running in the academic year 2025/26.
