Primary Education and Teaching Studies with foundation year

About this course

Primary education and teaching studies is a degree that prepares you to work with children in primary schools, combining the academic study of education with the professional development and classroom experience that effective teaching demands. It examines how children learn and develop, what the primary curriculum requires, how excellent teachers plan and deliver lessons across a full range of subjects and age groups, and how schools function as institutions in the wider context of educational policy and community life.

At Coventry University, this four-year full-time extended degree includes a foundation year providing a supported transition into degree-level study and educational content.
