With this degree you’ll gain comprehensive knowledge of New Zealand’s school curriculum and the skills required to manage students in a range of socially diverse settings, while adhering to the policies and procedures of the education system. This degree is practice-based – you’ll find yourself working alongside experienced teachers in local primary and intermediate schools for two days a week as part of the programme. For the other two days you’ll be on campus learning the theory associated with subjects such as language and literacy, mathematics, science, social studies, art, technology, health and physical education.

Graduating with a degree in primary school teaching paves the way to a challenging and rewarding future educating young minds. You’ll lead, facilitate and support children in their first eight years of formal learning, in preparation for secondary school and a lifetime of learning.
