Information for Applicants
Welcome to the BA (Hons) Computer Science with Education and QTS
Our programme has been designed for those who are passionate about the
idea of becoming primary teachers in 3 years, rather than the normal 4 year
route.
Much of your time will be spent in schools, observing teaching and
learning, considering how the theory of education and the practice observed
work with each other and, of course, working with children in classroom
settings.
You will be studying in a diverse community of students. You will have
the opportunity to develop your experience of working with children in a range
of settings, including the inner-city environment. Many themes such as equal
opportunities, multilingualism, meeting the needs of children with special
educational needs underpin most modules.
The teaching year begins in September and ends in July. You’ll attend
five days a week and spend the equivalent of 24 weeks in schools. You will find
this programme challenging and intensive but we are here to support you on your
journey to becoming a teacher.
