Primary Education Studies (2-year accelerated)

About this programme

Make a difference in a diverse, ever-changing world through the power of education. If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to inspire young minds, this is where your journey begins. Our Primary Education Studies degree explores how children learn, grow and make sense of the world - and how you can help shape that journey. This course gives you the knowledge, skills, and confidence to make your mark in the world of education. Dive into the big ideas behind how education shapes both lives and societies. From the history and philosophy of education to curriculum design, child psychology and global approaches to learning, you’ll build a deep understanding of what makes education meaningful. Learn how inclusion, diversity, and social justice play a vital role in today’s classrooms and communities particularly in vibrant, multicultural areas like London and Kent. Our teaching is hands-on and thought-provoking. You won’t just attend lectures you’ll take part in debates, creative projects, group discussions and real-world challenges where you’ll build critical thinking skills and learn to act with empathy. Over three years, you’ll cultivate a critical eye, an empathetic mindset, and a deep understanding of how education can transform lives. By graduation, you’ll be ready to step into your future - as a future teacher, a children’s advocate, or a changemaker in education. Joint Programme Leaders Dr Robert Morgan and Bonnie Kerr talk us through the course on how the three-year degree would enable you to become an educational practitioner.
