Course structure

The main thrust of the curriculum involves the study of education, pedagogy and professional practice, from both generic professional educational and subject specific perspectives.

You’ll learn by attending a mix of lectures, workshops and seminars and also through your own individual studies.

At least two-thirds of this course takes place off campus within schools. This means you have the opportunity to gain valuable ‘hands on’ experience in at least two different schools. In most cases you’ll also have the chance to visit other schools, including a primary school.

Trainee teachers are expected to take significant responsibility for their own progress and development. This type of professional development encourages the development of independent, creative practitioners who will be able to take the lead in the future.

Graduate Jodie Rayner's hard work on the course paid off as she went on to get a job as a drama teacher before she graduated.
