Joint Programme Leaders Dr Robert Morgan and Bonnie Kerr talk us through the course on how the three-year degree would enable you to become an educational practitioner.

The BA Primary Education Studies three-year degree offers you the opportunity to develop your awareness of current practice in primary schools and early years settings. The course is designed for students who want to be informed of primary education, or, to see whether they would want to become a trainee teacher and then acquire QTS.

The course is staffed by many former primary and early years teachers, who have experience of pedagogy and practice within the diverse schools of southeast London and Kent. This course is ideal for those who want to seriously consider being a teacher or for those who wish to gain experience to work in related educational settings.

Opportunities are available in primary and early years teaching after completing a one-year PGCE or School Direct qualification. Other top-up routes include social work, and children’s nursing. You will develop a range of transferable professional and academic skills that are in demand in a range of other careers, and you may also consider employment, for example, as a higher-level teaching assistant, with an educational charity, museum, gallery, education publishing, local government, or journalism.
