Bachelor of Teaching (Primary)

Become a Primary School teacher!

Our Bachelor of Teaching (Primary) programme was developed with school principals around New Zealand.

This three-year undergraduate programme will stimulate a passion for teaching and working with tamariki from Years 0 -10 (aged 5 – 15).

It starts by exploring the characteristics of a reflective, ethical, culturally responsive, and child-centred teacher before progressing on to build your understanding of children’s learning and development, the New Zealand curriculum and professional practice.

Degree holders gain professional knowledge, the skills to embrace te reo me ōna tikanga Māori and real-life experiences, highly sought after by primary and intermediate school principals.

Completion of this teacher education programme presents you with the opportunity to achieve your full teacher registration certificate from the Teaching Council of Aotearoa New Zealand.
