Entry Requirements

There are no formal entry requirements to study this degree. Computer and internet access necessary.

You do not need to be volunteering or employed in a primary school in order to study this qualification. However, if you're not working in a school on a regular basis you are advised to negotiate opportunities to spend some time in a formal educational setting for children aged 3-12 (this can be in a voluntary capacity) to observe teaching and learning, and gain exposure to a practice context. We suggest that you try to spend between two and 10 days in school when studying E103 and E209. If you cannot spend time in practice settings, the study materials provide examples of children’s learning across a range of phases and contexts. For the optional module Listening to young children: critical reflections (E229), you will have to arrange access to a young child for a short observation. See the module description for more details.
