Course Overview

As a teacher, you will be in the position of influencing the learning and development of the next generation. These children will need to be able to meet the changing environment of this century and become creative, innovative, and flexible life-long learners. We believe that to enable children to thrive, you, as a teacher in charge of the learning environment, must be creative, motivated, flexible, sensitive to, and eager to learn from and with the children in your care. On this fast-paced degree course, school-based placements form a significant part of your learning. From day one, we will equip you with the skills to inspire and educate young children, combining theory with professional practice that will enhance your critical and reflective abilities. Your time at Northumbria will enable you to develop your own thinking, learning, and creativity, and in just three years you will achieve Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) as accredited by the Department of Education.
