BA in Primary Education with English

This course will enable you to get a job as a primary school teacher following graduation. There is a high demand for specialist primary school teachers and many of our graduates go on to become subject leaders. Furthermore, our Institute of Education is one of the top departments in the UK and has strong links with local schools. This course introduces you to key texts from the past and the way that they have gone on to have great significance for English language, literature and other media. The programme also includes contemporary texts, for adults and children, in order to explore the relationship between the old and the new. Throughout the course you will have the opportunity to investigate how these texts can influence approaches to literature in a primary classroom. Additionally, a vital component within the English Specialism is to develop key leadership skills in order for you to lead English in primary schools.
