PRIMARY AND OUTDOOR EDUCATION BA (HONS) at University of Worcester

The environment around us is perhaps the greatest classroom of all, where our abundant natural resources make for exciting learning and teaching opportunities. On this programme you'll explore how the outdoors and our environment can enhance a child's development in a world where environmental concerns and issues about well-being dominate our society.

You'll investigate child development, learning, teaching and health and well-being through a range of modules that encompass primary schools, outdoor education centres and environmental challenges. The University of Worcester works in partnership with Herefordshire and Ludlow College to provide an excellent blend of core skills and knowledge with specialist teaching. 

An increasing amount of research is recognising the benefits that young people gain from experiences in the fresh air and freedom of the outdoors. Whether you are targeting a future career as a primary school teacher, planning to work in environmental education more widely, or seeking a career in the caring sector, this degree provides an extensive base of core skills, with a fresh approach that will enable you to work creatively with young people.
