Introduction

Dublin City University’s Bachelor of Education - Church of Ireland Pathway (Restricted Entry) prepares students for work as a Primary School Teacher. The course focuses on how children learn and how to teach the subjects of the primary school curriculum, with interactive lectures that develop knowledge and understanding of the world.

Teaching is structured across Years 1 to 4. Students take modules in Psychology, Philosophy Sociology of Education and History of Education, then undertake a research project in Year 4.
