Undergraduate

Education Studies (Primary)

UK University

Overview

This page covers Education Studies (Primary) across the departments we work with, including what each asks for and what it charges. It is a three year undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.

Teaching in Education suits people already working in education as much as new graduates, and departments read experience carefully.

Send us your transcript and English result and we will list the departments that would consider you, with the entry condition on each.
