Alongside the core subject areas, the course has a focus on teamwork, leadership, communication and creativity - skills that will serve you well in a teaching career and can also transfer to a number of other professions.

This programme also prepares you for the modern-day teaching environment by offering valuable and extensive teaching experience, both within the university and in school-based placements.
