Course Overview

The BA (Hons) Primary Education with QTS degree is a three-year undergraduate course that leads to the award of an honours degree and qualified teacher status. 

The course aims to prepare student teachers to be highly-skilled, confident, critically reflective and innovative practitioners who are committed to life-long professional learning and the education of young people. 

Graduates will develop the values and dispositions that will enable them to be highly employable and ready to meet the demands of the classroom.

Course Content

The BA (Hons) Primary with QTS degree is modular in structure, with modules ranging from 20 to 40 credits. Where modules are more than 20 credits, they are designed as such in order to capture and give due attention to the interrelationship and range of curricular areas within the revised Curriculum for Wales. We aim to make these modules deliverable through the medium of Welsh as well as English, subject to availability.

A total of 120 days will be undertaken in school. The clinical practice structure of these days includes a ‘return day’ to university or lead partnership school every week to consolidate and cohere the key principles of a collaborative culture and research-informed learning. Clinical Practice is also available through the medium of Welsh.

Employability & Careers

Successful completion of the programme will lead to recommendation to the Education Workforce Council for Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and provides opportunities for employment at the primary level. Graduates can obtain work in schools across Wales, the UK and abroad. 

The course is designed to provide a wide range of experiences that will provide our graduates with the knowledge, skills and confidence to prepare them well for the world of work. Cardiff Partnership’s Lead Partnership Schools have been identified as leading providers of education and professional development in Wales and so the opportunity to learn from them and within their own environments means that career progression from student teacher to Newly Qualified Teacher should be seamless.
