BA (Hons) Primary Education Studies University of Roehampton

Program Description

Learn the knowledge and skills to foster the academic, social, and emotional development of young learners. This programme includes timetabling options to suit working Teaching Assistants and others with professional or personal commitments. Make a difference to young children’s lives with a degree in Primary Education Studies. The only course of its kind in London and informed by our unique 183-year heritage in teaching and learning, this course gives you the knowledge and skills to carve out a sustainable career in the education sector or working with young children. On our BA Primary Education Studies, our priority is ensuring that you graduate with a professional skillset. This incorporates; • A hands-on, practical route into the education sector. • Gain a deep understanding of working life in schools, the education system and the issues faced by classroom practitioners. • Those with Teaching Assistant experience, can become an accredited Higher Level Teaching Assistant (HTLA), formally recognised as a graduate level outcome. • These three strands will ensure that you are ready for the practical realities of the education sector. A strong vocational degree: This newly developed, strongly vocational degree is ideal for students seeking a fulfilling career in education, while not wishing to immediately gain qualified teacher status. We offer flexible timetabling options to suit Teaching Assistants - an option to attend lectures one day per week in person, and one evening online.
