Get teaching experience with an internship
If you’re studying for an undergraduate or master's degree and interested in teaching, an internship could help you to understand what it’s really like in the classroom.
Internships last 3 weeks, start in June or July and you’ll be paid £425 per week.
Before you start, you’ll need:
- To be interested in teaching chemistry, computing, maths, physics or modern foreign languages.
- To be studying for an undergraduate or master's degree related to the above subjects.
- To have a right to work in the UK; if you are an international student, check your visa – many people on a student visa, for example, can work for 20 hours per week during term-time and full-time during holidays.
This programme is funded by the Department for Education [DfE]. By submitting an application form, you are agreeing to the DfE's privacy policy. They will share information with you regarding developing a career in teaching via their ‘Get into Teaching Adviser Service’.
The DfE also offer free one-to-one support from advisers with years of teaching experience. You can talk to them via phone, email, text or WhatsApp. If you do not wish to speak to an adviser, you can opt out by contacting [email protected].
This is an additional service to the internships programme, and you can still do an internship without having an adviser.
