Primary Education (with QTS)

This exciting and interactive course combines an Honours degree and Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), enabling you to become a competent and confident primary school teacher within three years. The content provides a thorough grounding in the major issues of education including child development, setting high expectations, identifying pupil progress, planning and assessment, behaviour management and special educational needs and disabilities.

Why this course at Marjon? • 90% in work or further study 15 months after the course (Discover Uni 2023). • Extensive placement experience, starting with a partner and gradually taking over full classrooms, placed in one of over 200 primary schools across the South West, London or abroad. • Engage with all the primary curriculum subjects, with additional specialist input in one chosen subject, which is a stand-out feature on your CV. • Second year enhanced placement could include zoos, outdoor centres and a range of special schools. • Third year final placements are in the first term meaning at interviews you are confident in your experience.
