The part-time Primary Education route is intended for education professionals, policymakers and researchers at any stage of their career.

-
carry out an individual and collaborative critical enquiry into significant educational issues and practice; and

develop your thinking in order to contribute to informed policy and practice analysis and improvement in the primary phase and your own work setting.
The education aims are:
-
