Your courses are developed with school partners, expert academics, and the latest research.

You'll spend over half the course in school-based training, supported by mentors and university staff, and receive specialist instruction on classroom management and subject pedagogy.

On graduation, you'll be recommended for Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and fully prepared to start your teaching career, qualified to teach from age 3 to 11 in the primary sector.

I love how small the class sizes are and how homely the University feels. Through the lectures, workshops and activities, I have developed close relationships with everyone on my course.
