This innovative four-year degree programme, approved by the General Teaching Council for Scotland, is benchmarked against the highest standards of excellence. On this programme you won’t just learn how to teach; you will graduate with a comprehensive understanding of how children learn, grow and develop. You will complete four school placements, all of which are aimed at preparing you for teaching in primary schools. Placements cover all stages of the primary school and each placement has a specific subject focus. Placements will only take place in Dumfries and Galloway local authority schools.This course introduces a range of methodologies, pedagogies and assessment strategies which relate to teaching in the primary school. It introduces the planning and recording cycle, assessment of children’s learning and evaluation of your own teaching. It also provides opportunities to become familiar with the policies, procedures, resources and the overall day-to-day learning environment of a primary school and the use of creative and innovative pedagogical strategies for learning and teaching. You will also choose from elective courses which will give you the opportunity to add breadth to your degree in subjects relevant to the primary curriculum. There is a six-week school placement during May and June.This programme is accredited by the General Teaching Council for Scotland and is an internationally recognised teaching qualification. Our graduates teach at schools in Scotland and globally, including in Ireland, Egypt, Abu Dhabi, Kuwait and Australia. In addition to career progression in teaching such as leadership and management roles within schools, there are opportunities for specialist careers in fields allied to education as well as further study or research in education. You may exit after year 3 with an MA in Primary Educational Studies. This is not a teaching qualification but provides a good background for other careers in education and related areas.
