Program overview
A three year honours degree in primary teaching, covering the primary curriculum, child development, behaviour management, inclusive practice and extended school placements.
This carries QTS and asks IELTS 7.0, the highest English bar at Bath Spa, since classroom communication is assessed throughout the placements.
Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Primary Education 5 to 11 with QTS is taught at Bath Spa University, a public university in England with full degree awarding powers. Because the primary education degree is a degree, it supports an application under the UK Graduate Route, which gives two years of unsponsored work in Britain after you finish. No job offer or sponsor is needed for the primary education degree, but you must be inside the UK on a valid student visa when you apply. Your student visa covers the length of the primary education degree plus a short period afterwards. UK rules from January 2024 bar a dependant partner or child on taught courses, so the primary education degree does not support a family move.
The academic bar for Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Primary Education 5 to 11 with QTS is a recognised post-secondary certificate or equivalent with 50 percent. The English requirement is IELTS 7.0 with no band below 6.0, and tuition for the primary education degree is recorded at GBP 17,310. Bath Spa charges no application fee, and no scholarship is recorded against the primary education degree. The primary education degree lists three entry windows, one September start in each of three consecutive years. Apply Study Visa manages your the primary education degree application, the deposit, the offer, the CAS and the UK student visa as one process.
