📖Program Curriculum
Modules
You will study a variety of modules across your programme of study. The module details given below are subject to change and are the latest example of the curriculum available on this course of study.
The Initial Teacher Training Core Content Framework provides the foundation for our curriculum which has four overlapping strands which are revisited in different contexts and increase in complexity over your three years of study.
Subject Knowledge and Applied Pedagogy
Professional Studies
Research Literacy
School-based Training
Centre-based Training at University and School-based Training experiences are integrated to allow for reflective practice as you progress through each level.
Students will study a range of core modules across their three years of study, designed to build phase expertise in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and Key Stage 1 where you will gain both theoretical and subject knowledge alongside practical experience in these phases of the primary school.
