Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Primary Education (Early Years 3-7) with Recommendation for Qualified Teacher Status

This is a primary education degree with a specialism in teaching three to seven year-olds. Gain the skills, experience and ability students will need to teach early years children aged between three and seven. Through group work, they will develop their passion for working with children and build their knowledge of psychology, sociology, pedagogy and philosophy.

Students will undertake a two to seven-week placement in a school during each year of study, and this practical experience will help students to hit the ground running in their first teaching job after graduation. The opportunity to study specific areas, such as child-initiated learning, will also give them a focus for when students start teaching in schools.

LBU has been identified as one of the leading teacher training providers in England. They are one of only 25 universities to have had their initial teacher training allocations confirmed for the next three years, an acknowledgement by the Department for Education of their excellent provision.
