Meet our Primary Education students

This innovative four-year MA Primary Education with Teaching Qualification programme, approved by the General Teaching Council for Scotland, is benchmarked against the highest standards of excellence. On this programme you won’t just learn how to teach; you will graduate with a comprehensive understanding of how children learn, grow and develop.

You will benefit from strong links with local schools, innovative teaching methods and a friendly and inclusive academic community.
