The Explore Teaching scheme offers students the opportunity to complete a 15-day placement within a school or college setting, enabling you to explore a career in teaching. 

Placements are voluntary and usually completed on a part-time basis. 

Applications are now open for the spring 2024 intake of the Explore Teaching Scheme, with placements taking place between February and July 2024. 

The deadline for applications is Monday 30 October. 

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

For more information, attend our Information and Application Support session later this month. This will take place at the Regent Street Campus in room UG04 on Wednesday 11 October from 1.30-2.30pm. Sign up for the session via Engage.

Upon successful completion of 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 2023-24 academic year. 

We will open applications again in spring, with successful applicants undertaking their placements in autumn 2024.
