Is Primary and Secondary Education Modern Languages for you?
In deciding to become a teacher you have chosen a unique profession, which will provide rewards and challenges that few other jobs can offer. You will be intellectually stimulated, find real variety and have the opportunity to be creative. Most importantly you will play an active part in shaping the lives of young people.
This degree programme will prepare you for work in junior schools (key stage 2) and secondary schools (key stage 3). You will be able to act as a ‘generalist’ or a ‘specialist’ teacher of your chosen subject or a combination of both. By having a unique insight into the challenges of progression and continuity that exists between KS2 and KS3, you will be well equipped to act as a ‘link teacher’ able to liaise with and build relationships between secondary schools and feeder primary schools.
What career opportunities are available?
More than 95% of graduates who complete the primary and secondary education programme secure full time employment within the first six months of qualifying. There are excellent opportunities for teachers who wish to take on extra curriculum and management responsibilities. There are also rewards available for those who wish to focus exclusively on effective classroom practice.
