There are two routes into primary teaching: the undergraduate B Ed route and the two-year postgraduate qualification known as the Professional Master of Education (PMEd) route (see the Graduate Studies website for details). The Bachelor of Education (primary teaching) degree and the PMEd are designed for students who wish to become primary school teachers within the Republic of Ireland (both qualifications may offer the opportunity to work in many countries internationally).

  • Child-centred and active approaches to teaching are central to the Froebel philosophy and permeate the ethos in the Department.
  • The foundation disciplines of Psychology, Philosophy, Sociology and History of Education form the theoretical basis for this degree.
  • Education modules and school-based practice within a variety of placement settings feature across all 4 years, as well as a placement in the Gaeltacht for 2 fortnight blocks at Easter in second and third year.
  • Graduates are eligible to register with the Teaching Council and are qualified to teach in primary schools in Ireland.
  • As the Department is named after the famous educational philosopher, Friedrich Froebel, our programmes reflect his ideology by incorporating active, student-centred approaches to our teaching.
