BEd (Hons) POST-PRIMARY – TECHNOLOGY AND DESIGN

A good education has the power to inspire and teachers are in a unique position to shape and change the lives of young people, their families and communities. Great teachers are visionaries, lifelong learners, leaders, communicators, collaborators, partners, innovators, creative thinkers, problem solvers, adaptors and role models. Our post-primary programme will help prepare you for that challenge and equip you with the skills, knowledge and experience to create a positive learning environment, inspiring young people to maximise their potential and believe in themselves.

The BEd (Post-primary) Technology and Design course is a four-year programme designed to support your development as an educational professional and reflective practitioner. Throughout this course you will use new technologies and modern ways of thinking and learning to enable you to become a learning leader. Discover how to integrate new technologies and raise awareness of the implications of technology. The use of computers as a design tool is encouraged and you will have access to up-to-date CNC routers, lathe and milling machines, laser cutters and 3D printers. As an adaptable individual you will develop new skills to teach others in an innovative way, including manufacturing, systems, graphics and CAD/CAM. I
