# Primary Education - BA (Hons)

This dynamic and impactful BA (Hons) in Primary Education is Scotland’s newest teacher education course. It will give you the expertise, confidence and professional qualification you need to embark on a rewarding career as a primary teacher.

The course provides a fresh, innovative approach to teacher education, grounded in evidence-based research in the social sciences, and recognises the rewards and challenges of teaching in the 21st century. It paves the way to a career as a primary school teacher, where you will genuinely make a difference in the world and inspire our future citizens.

This course is about more than simply preparing you to inspire a class of young learners; it will engage you with the wider socio-political issues that affect education at every level and how these, in turn, influence educational outcomes for children. Placements form a large part of this course and are integral to your journey to become a teacher.

At QMU, we are committed to widening access to education, and we welcome applications from all backgrounds and genders.

We hope you feel as passionate about this new direction as we do and look forward to receiving your application.
