Dr Tim Lucas

Head of Programme PGCE Primary Part-time and Flexible Routes

I work across all primary ITE programmes but am Head of Programme for the PGCE Primary Part-time and Flexible Routes.

I teach upon PGCE professional modules, with a particular focus on preparing students for school-based research.

A particular interest of mine is working within the area of arts education. I teach upon art and design modules and teach primary music within the PGECE programme and the undergraduate performing arts module.

Research interests centre around the teaching of art in schools, working in close collaboration with local artists to provide students with ‘expert’ knowledge. I also have a keen interest in Scandinavian Education Systems – the subject of my Doctoral thesis.
