Courses

Undergraduate & PGDE

The University’s Education programmes, offered through the School of Education, based at University Campus, Ayr are taught at undergraduate and postgraduate level. The School provides a centre of expertise and experience in teaching and learning and reinforces the University's commitment to offering the best, possible learning environment for students.

Continuing Professional Development

Continuing Professional Development (CPD) for school teachers after qualification is increasingly important for Scottish school teachers. The School of Education has completed a full review of its CPD provision to introduce a range of new 'Advanced Professional Studies' programmes at Postgraduate Certificate, Postgraduate Diploma and Masters level. This includes the School's innovative Chartered Teacher programme, delivered by e-learning in partnership with the Educational Institute of Scotland (EIS), Learning & Teaching Scotland (LTS), Argyll & Bute Council and South Ayrshire Council.
The School's BEd graduates will have the opportunity to maintain contact with the University over their career through participation in these CPD programmes.
