You'll gain teaching expertise at University and real classroom experience from the start of the course, developing your skills in further education settings and learning how to create inclusive, engaging learning environments for a wide range of learners. You'll explore practical approaches to planning and delivering effective lessons, using adaptive teaching strategies and removing barriers to learning so that all students can succeed.

Alongside your teaching practice, you'll learn how to use research to inform and improve your teaching, helping you become a confident, reflective and resilient practitioner. You'll also develop expertise in supporting learners with SEND while building your understanding of wider areas that are central to further education, including English and maths, equality, diversity and inclusion, digital skills and sustainability.
