Primary Education Studies

Education has the power to transform lives and societies. The primary education studies degree has the potential to enable you to see and engage with education-related issues and how they affect children’s lives.

The wider education field needs you in a diverse and multicultural society to create positive change, through considering equity and social justice. This ethos is embedded through how you will learn on the programme within an inclusive and diverse learning community that will enable you to become critical thinkers.

This degree provides a comprehensive understanding of the field through exploration of critical topics which include the history of education, curriculum development, the philosophy of education, and the political dimensions of education and development. You will gain a global perspective on educational practices, explore child psychology to better understand developmental needs, and learn inclusive teaching strategies to support personalised learning. Furthermore, your assessments are designed to stimulate critical thinking through a range of formats such as essays, presentations, debates, projects, and portfolios.

Our in-depth three-year degree in primary education studies will develop your awareness of current practice in primary schools and early years settings. It is ideal if you want to work in an education-related field, that maybe teaching or speech & language, health, social care, childcare, museum & art gallery work or charities that work with children.
