Primary Education and Teaching Studies

About this course

Primary education is both a profession and a vocation, built on the conviction that the quality of a child's early educational experience has a lasting influence on their development, their relationship with learning and their life chances. Those who teach in primary schools must be knowledgeable across a broad curriculum, skilled in managing the needs of children at very different stages of development, and able to create environments where curiosity, confidence and effort are nurtured. Teaching studies as an academic field sits alongside the practical formation, asking why and how children learn, how schools function as institutions, and how educational practice can be made more effective and equitable. At Coventry University you will study this three-year full-time programme, which includes a sandwich placement year, a year abroad and embedded work placement opportunities. Classroom
