Course summary

Combining an Honours degree and Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), this course will enable you to teach within the early years foundation stage and across Key Stage 1. Theoretical and practical sessions in University give you a base for extensive classroom and early years experiences, where you will use your growing expertise in the age range 3-7. This course follows the same first year as the BEd (Hons) Primary Education but with specialisms in the second and third years. As such, you may switch between courses after the first year.


Why this course at Marjon?

• Diverse range of placement experiences, starting with a partner and gradually taking over full classrooms, in early years and nursery settings, including in London.
• Optimise your CV for working in both primary and early years settings.
• 100% of students go on to work or study within six months of finishing (Unistats 2018).
• Engage with the areas of learning and development in the early years foundation stage alongside all the primary curriculum subjects, which is a standout feature on your CV.


What might I become?

This course enables you to start work as a Newly Qualified Teacher in a primary school or an early years setting, where expertise in early years would be a distinct advantage.
