Overview

If you’re looking for a career working with children aged 3-12 and their families, or you already work in education but want to learn more and progress your career, the Primary Education Studies (Hons) programme at Anglia Ruskin University will give you a thorough understanding of classroom management, lesson planning, National Curriculum subjects, and the three Key Stages in primary education, as well as an insight into special educational needs provision.

You needn’t be limited to primary school teaching, though. You might have your sights set on a career in the wider education sector, cultural institutions and NGOs, or related fields such as health and social work. On this degree course you’ll gain the knowledge and skills you need to work collaboratively in a range of settings.

Careers

The BA (Hons) Primary Education Studies is the first step on your career path to working with primary-aged children and their families.

If you’re interested in teaching, our degree will prepare you for postgraduate initial teacher training programmes. We work with local ITT providers who actively recruit our students to School Centred Initial Teacher Training (SCITTs), so you’ll be well prepared for interviews throughout your degree.
