Are you interested in the education of children aged between 3 and 12? Are you thinking about pursuing a career within education or becoming a primary school teacher? This degree will give you a sound foundation for further study relevant to a range of roles within education. You'll develop your understanding of policy and practice in primary education, and gain the knowledge and skills needed to work collaboratively and equitably in a range of settings.
Please note this course does not provide Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). See the Careers section for further details.
In Northern Ireland, this qualification is not recognised by the Education Authority as a Classroom Assistant qualification. However, those applying for classroom assistant positions may find that schools will still accept the OU qualifications for shortlisting purposes. You are strongly advised to check with the individual school about their qualification policies for classroom assistant roles, as requirements may vary between different schools.
We also offer a Diploma of Higher Education in Education Studies (Primary) (W54) that is the same in structure as the first two-thirds of this degree; similarly, our Certificate of Higher Education in Education Studies (Primary) (T29) corresponds to the first third.
