Primary Education (Early Years). University of Bedfordshire

This is a Masters level course and offers an in-depth and high-quality qualification in primary school teaching, leading to Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). The 38-week, three-unit course is run in partnership with local schools and prepares you to teach children aged between three and seven.

The course has a professional emphasis with a minimum of 90 days (18 weeks) spent in schools. School experience is a crucial element of the course and you will undertake two different school placements, covering Key Stage 1 and Early Years (although not necessarily in sequential order). Over the course of the placements you will have increasing responsibility for a whole class.
