BAQTS
Welcome to the BAQTS page. This is a three-year undergraduate course which awards the professional qualification of Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and a primary education degree.
Associate teachers choose to specialise in age phases 3-7 or 5-11, qualifying them to teach in primary schools and early years settings. They will use research to develop their pedagogical and curriculum knowledge and refine teaching skills during their placement with the support of school colleagues across the BCU regional partnership.
Placement Mentors in school play an essential role in engaging associate teachers in critical analysis of the application of their learning and in providing focused feedback on their classroom practice.
All information is included in the BAQTS Course Handbook 2024-25
