Internships

Interships flyers

A teaching internship gives you the opportunity to spend 3 weeks in a school and find out what teaching is really like. You’ll experience being in a classroom, gain new skills, and be paid £300 per week. 

Teaching internships take place during June and July. Places fill up quickly.

Teaching internships are only available for certain subjects. To take part, you’ll need to be studying for a degree related to the subject you want to teach.
