Mathematics Education subject specialism is taught by tutors from a highly qualified and experienced team of mathematics educators who are involved in research, professional writing and training. The teaching rooms where the courses take place are well-equipped and reflect stimulating learning environments for teaching and learning mathematics in primary education.

The programme includes work in mathematics that is designed to challenge and engage your interest as well as developing knowledge to underpin confident mathematics teaching. Our aim is for you to be able to show excellent teaching in the subject by example and through leading others. Other aspects address the ways in which children learn mathematics, what we can learn from research and the evaluation of the range of ways in which mathematics can be taught. We will look at mathematics in history, in different cultures and in its links with other subjects.

Applicants will normally have A- or AS-level mathematics, or equivalent, and be confident and enthusiastic about the subject.

There is more information about this specialism on the School of Education website.
