Placements for this round of applications will take place between January and March 2025. Placements are voluntary and are usually completed on a part-time basis. 

The application deadline is 28 October 2024

Find out more about the scheme and submit your application via the Explore Teaching webpage.

We will also be running an Information and Application Support session for interested students later this month. This will take place online on Tuesday 8 October 2024 between 1–2pm. Sign up on Engage.

When you've completed the scheme, the Explore Teaching team will provide you with a letter of reference, which can be used in support of future applications to Teacher Training courses or employment within the education sector.

The scheme is open to all undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as recent graduates of the last 3 years. Applications are welcome from international students, as well as those taking a work-based and placement learning module during the 2024 - 25 academic year.  

We will open applications again in spring, with successful applicants undertaking their placements in Autumn 2025.
