Ashley Bell from Dundee graduated in 2011 with a BEd in Primary Education

During my course, I've been impressed with the broad range of knowledge and skills that are taught, the balance between theory and practical work and the invaluable support given throughout.

Throughout the last three years the school placements I have been on have provided me with the opportunity to apply my learning in a real life context, to learn from experienced practioners in the field and to receive detailed feedback from both University and school staff.
