"modules": "This qualification has three stages, each comprising 120 credits. In Stage 1, you’ll study two modules that will provide you with a broad introduction to primary education, childhood studies and child psychology. Then, in Stage 2, you’ll study a module that further develops your subject knowledge of the primary curriculum. You’ll follow this with one from a choice of four options. Finally, in Stage 3, you’ll complete your degree with two further modules – one that includes a comparative study of primary education in local, national and international contexts; and one that introduces you to the methods used, and the issues encountered, in research with children and young people.",

However students not working or volunteering in school on a regular basis are advised to negotiate opportunities to spend some time in a formal educational setting for children aged 3-12 (for example in a voluntary capacity) to observe teaching and learning and gain exposure to a practice context. It is suggested that students spend 10 days in school during each stage of the degree. It is your responsibility – not the OU’s - to ensure that you obtain the necessary Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check (or equivalent if not working in England) for the setting and country in which you’re working. You should contact the relevant agency in your country for more information if you are in any doubt about your eligibility or to find out more.",
