A teaching internship can help you to understand what it’s really like in the classroom. They’re available for university students with an interest in teaching who are either in their second, third or final year of an undergraduate degree, or studying towards a master’s degree.
Internships last 3 weeks, start in June or July and you’ll be paid £455 per week.
Internships for summer 2026 are listed on this page. Placements are limited, so you should apply early to make sure you get an internship.
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
- design and technology
- 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.
If you're an undergraduate student, you'll need to be in your second, third, or final year of study to apply for an internship.
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.
