Course in depth
What this course covers, who it suits and where it leads.
What you'll study
This degree develops the practical and theoretical skills required to teach in primary schools, covering Key Stage 1 and 2 pupils whilst working towards Qualified Teacher Status. A typical Education & Teaching degree of this kind moves from foundations to specialist options. You'll usually begin with how children learn and how schooling is organised, alongside child development across cognitive, social and emotional domains. School placements start early and intensify as you progress. In Year 2, you'll typically focus on curriculum planning, teaching and assessment across core subjects, together with supporting learners with special educational needs and disabilities. Year 3 deepens professional practice, behaviour, assessment and professional standards, alongside specialist options such as early years, subject specialisms or education policy. Your final placement assesses you against the Teachers' Standards, leading to QTS.
Who it's for
You're suited to this course if you have genuine interest in how young people learn, enjoy explaining ideas clearly, and want to make a tangible difference in children's lives during their formative years. You'll thrive if you're curious about pedagogy and child development, comfortable adapting your approach to different learners, and willing to reflect critically on your own practice. The course will demand sustained commitment, classroom placements alongside coursework require resilience and organisational skill, but rewards that effort with direct feedback from experienced mentors and the satisfaction of seeing children progress. You should be ready to engage seriously with research in education, not just follow prescribed methods.

International students
What applying to Northampton from outside the UK involves: fees, English, visa, funding and living costs.
Tuition fees
International tuition is £31,650 / year for this course (from the provider’s fee page). You’re not eligible for UK Tuition Fee or Maintenance Loans, so plan for fees plus living costs upfront.
English language
Most UK undergraduate courses ask for around IELTS 6.0–6.5 (no band below 5.5–6.0), or an accepted equivalent. If you’re just short, most universities run a pre-sessional English course that counts towards the requirement.
Student visa
You’ll usually need a Student visa (Student Route). After you accept an offer the university issues a CAS; you then show funds for fees plus about £1,023–£1,334/month living costs and pay the Immigration Health Surcharge for NHS access.
Scholarships & funding
Many universities offer international/global scholarships (often £2,000–£6,000/yr), check Northampton’s funding pages.
Living costs
Budget roughly £1,100–£1,400/month outside London and £1,400–£1,800/month in London for rent, food and travel; the figure also matters for your visa.
Working while you study
A Student visa usually allows up to 20 hours/week in term time and full-time in holidays, useful alongside study, though not something to rely on for fees.
Visa rules and fees change. Always confirm the current requirements with Northampton and gov.uk before you apply.
