Student teaching scheme
We provide you with the opportunity to gain experience in teacher training via an optional module in your final year.
The Student Teaching Scheme (as part of the Student Teaching module) allows you to work in local secondary schools and teach pupils who are learning foreign languages.
You will have the opportunity to observe teaching by professionals, take part in classroom activities and generate new learning materials.
This in turn enhances your ICT, presentation, preparatory and organisational skills and, ultimately, your employability.
Should you wish to pursue a career in teaching this valuable experience can be used to feed into your PGSE application. You will also have the opportunity to take a dedicated (optional) training session for PGSE applications with an expert in the field.
* Does not include 3-Year BA Translation
** Does not apply to: LLB Law and French; or any course where the only language of study is Japanese or Chinese.
