Course in Depth

What will I study?

You will begin by completing a training needs analysis which

determines the knowledge or skills you would like to

develop over the first year of the degree. You will reflect

upon your practice and develop your knowledge and

understanding around the theories of teaching, learning and

development, working in a multi-agency environment and

important aspects linked to teaching, learning and

mentoring.

The programme also places importance on understanding

planning, assessment and evaluation. Once on course, you

will be able to follow either the Children’s Workforce

Professional route or be considered for progression towards

Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) in Primary Education. It is

important to note that if you choose the latter pathway

there is no guarantee that you will be accepted onto

progression to QTS, it is an assurance that you have chosen

the correct modules to be considered.

Before progressing onto level 6, students may be able to

transfer to a QTS programme. If, however, you are

completing the BA (Hons) Teaching, Learning and Mentoring

Practice degree, further areas such as leading practice in

teaching, learning and mentoring, and theories of learning

will be completed. You will also complete a research project

on a relevant subject of your choice.

How will I study?

The programme will run either one afternoon and early

evening per week or one evening per week. Approaches to

teaching and learning will include active participation in

practical and theoretical workshops for projects, seminars,

student presentations, micro-teaching methods (a unique

model of practice teaching), directed study, support

methods, as well as reading and research tasks.

How will I be assessed?

Assessment methods will vary depending upon each module

studied and will include assignment writing, research

projects, presentations, reflections and portfolios. There are

no formal written examinations as part of the current

assessment methods on this programme.

Who will be teaching me?

The programme is delivered by experienced and well

qualified staff, many of whom have worked in primary or

secondary schools. Other tutors bring experience from

further and higher education establishments. The

programme team has a strong research profile and present

at conferences both nationally and internationally.
