Overview
Every child needs a hero. Education has the potential to inspire a child's future and change lives. Become a teacher with our BEd (Hons) Primary Education with Qualified Teacher Status degree and develop the skills to engage the next generation and empower them to succeed and thrive.
You'll be taught by experienced teaching professionals to develop an individual teaching practice that will positively benefit the lives of young people every day.
You'll extend your depth of knowledge in topics that match your career ambitions and benefit from extensive teaching placements in primary schools and other educational settings, such as in a special educational needs (SEN) school or the education department of a zoo.
When you graduate, you'll be recommended for Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) to the Teaching Regulation Authority – a mandatory requirement if you want to work in most state-funded schools in the UK.

Careers and opportunities
You can have a huge impact on the next generation of society, creating and developing interests in children that can set them on a successful course for their future. And once you complete this degree course, you'll have all the skills you need to begin your career as a primary teacher.
Alternative careers
As well as equipping you to become a confident primary teacher, this course opens up a range of other opportunities. If you'd like to stay in a school setting, you can progress to roles such as education officer or a specialist education leader. But you could also choose to work in other educational settings, such as an outdoor education centre or educational department in hospitals, museums or zoos.
If you want to follow in the footsteps of your teachers on the course, or move into research in the area of education, you could also do further study and research at postgraduate level.

This could be anything from a special educational needs (SEN) school to the education department at a theme park.
We'll give you all the support you need to find a placement that prepares you for your career. While on placement you'll continue to receive mentoring from your teaching staff, as well as the experienced teacher you'll be working with.
CCT membership
You'll be eligible to become a member of the Chartered College of Teaching (CCT) when you graduate.
CCT membership allows you to use the post-nominal letters "MCCT" after your name, which highlights your professional status. You'll also get opportunities to shape the profession and educational policy through consultations, as well as access to networking events, online courses and the latest teaching research.
