First UK Montessori degree to launch

Careers & Training
The University of East London has joined with the Montessori Training Institute to offer the UK’s first full degree in Montessori Education.

The BA (Hons) Montessori Pedagogy Foundation course will launch in September at UEL’s Cass School of Education, Communities and Social Sciences.

Students on the three-year degree course will study the full Montessori approach for children aged three to six, as advocated by the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI), the organisation set-up by Maria Montessori in 1929 to safeguard and promote the integrity of the approach.

For the first two years of the course, students will be taught at the Montessori Training Institute in London, with the third year and degree honours taught at UEL. Students will also undergo work placements in Montessori schools and classes.
