In University and on your professional placements, you will be taught, assessed and supported by an exceptional team of internationally recognised, research-led and experienced practitioners.
How Will I Study?
In addition to seminars, tutorials, workshops and individual/group work, at least eighteen weeks are spent obtaining practical teaching experience. At the outset of the course, students will spend a short period of time in SureStart centres with 2-3 year old children.
The initial assessed placement is spent in a nursery setting towards the end of October, lasting for a period of five weeks. An additional five weeks in January/February is spent in a Foundation Stage classroom (i.e. Year 1 or 2 in a primary school) and a further 6 weeks spent in a Key Stage 1 classroom (i.e. Year 3 or 4 of a primary school) in April/May.
Students will then get the opportunity to spend two weeks in an additional alternative educational setting of their choice in Northern Ireland. A small number of students will also get the chance to undertake their final two week placement in a European setting. Students will spend every Monday in schools for observation purposes.

Our Mission
Since it was established in 1922, the College’s mission has been clear:
“To transform the lives of children and young people through excellence in teaching, scholarship and research.”
Our Vision
To deliver that mission, and our vision to be the best specialist higher education institution in the field of teacher education and related professions and provide a lead in innovative professional practice, our focus is based on four key pillars:
Shaping Education
For almost 100 years, Stranmillis University College has been a centre of excellence and innovation in shaping educational policy and practice through world-class educational research, scholarship, teaching and career-long professional development for education practitioners.
Unlocking Potential
Ensuring that children and young people have the best possible start in life, and are motivated, inspired and supported to maximise their potential, is central to the development and delivery of a world-class education system. Unlocking the potential of every child, our own students and our staff is at the heart of who we are and what we do as a college.
Building Futures
We believe that education can have a transformative impact on the lives of children and young people, families, communities and society as a whole. To help build a better, brighter and more prosperous future for all, our teaching is best and ‘next’ practice focused, research and scholarship led and designed to support the development of outstanding workplace and community competence in every area of education.
Connecting Globally
Our international engagement and partnerships enrich the learning community and broaden the horizons of staff and students. During the past year, our focus on developing and sustaining strong local, national and international partnerships which promote the concept of learning communities and sharing resources has continued apace.
