If you’re studying for an undergraduate or master's degree and interested in teaching, an internship could help you to understand what it’s really like in the classroom.
Internships last 3 weeks, start in June or July and you’ll be paid £425 per week.
Find out how to apply, including details of teaching internship providers in each region, further down this page.
Once you've finished your internship, you can decide if you want to train to teach in England and get qualified teacher status (QTS).
The support I had was amazing, I was treated like a member of staff, and I was welcomed by everyone.
Who can apply
You'll need to be studying for a related undergraduate or master's degree and interested in teaching one of the following:
- chemistry
- computing
- languages
- maths
- physics
If you’re interested in teaching a different subject, you can still get school experience and find out what it’s like to be in a classroom.
Towards the end of the internship, I was able to teach parts of lessons that I had planned, and I really started to find my feet at the front of the classroom.
What you'll experience
You'll get a feel for what life as a teacher is like. Your internship will give you an opportunity to:
- shadow experienced teachers and observe lessons
- jointly plan and teach lessons
- get one-to-one guidance from outstanding classroom teachers and subject specialists
- see what school life is like for a teacher outside of the classroom
I observed lessons, provided 1:1 support to pupils, and even taught classes! The internship was particularly beneficial in providing a unique insight into teacher training and the application process.
