Presentación

Train as a teacher in an exciting subject area that is popular with GCSE and A-level pupils, and where there is a shortage of suitably qualified teachers. You develop your subject knowledge over three years of study in our specialist facilities and gain essential teaching experience in secondary schools in preparation for your teaching career.

Key points
• Train as a teacher in an in-demand area of teaching.
• Spend three years developing high level subject knowledge of design and technology.
• Learn advanced technical skills in specialist design and technology workshops.
• Gain work experience with accredited mentors in at least two schools.

What is design and technology with education and Qualified Teacher Status?
This course develops your design capabilities, manufacturing skills and technological understanding to degree level. You also learn how to share information and learn techniques that motivate young people in the classroom. You develop your creativity, design awareness, graphic communication and presentation skills.

Requisitos

GCSE English language and mathematics at grade C or above or equivalent. Plus one of the following

We accept AS levels. Lower offers may be made if you have suitable experience or exceptionally good teaching-related skills.
• Access – at least 45 credits at level 3 from a relevant Open College Network accredited course

If English is not your first language you must have an IELTS score of 7.0 with a minimum of 6.5 in all skills or equivalent. For equivalents see our English language entry requirements web page.

If you have work experience related to design and technology, without A level qualifications, we may consider your application if you have the GCSE requirements and evidence of further study in design and technology.

The level of your offer will be based on the strength of your application, your interview performance and your relevant experience.

You must also successfully complete pre-entry tests in numeracy and literacy as designated by the National College for Teaching and Leadership.

Salidas profesionales

We have an excellent employment record. Over 90% of graduates from our undergraduate teaching courses are employed in a teaching post.

In addition to teaching, some of our graduates find careers as specialists in design and manufacturing industries.

Competencias

Your studies involve subject-based study at degree level in the areas of design, technology and manufacturing and progressive, school-based experience in at least two schools during the three years to allow you to develop the teaching skills to meet the standards for Qualified Teacher Status.
Your studies centre around specialist workshops where you learn the technical and design skills needed to lead school classes.
We emphasise the skills and knowledge you need to teach across many areas of the design and technology curriculum. You also develop higher level information and communication technology (ICT) skills and strategies to incorporate technology enhanced learning (TEL) within your teaching.
You learn to think critically and creatively about the subjects you study and, by engaging with exciting and challenging projects, you gain an understanding of how people learn. You complete research and reflection to support your studies and personal development.
You also gain school experience during the early part of the course to enable you to relate your developing design, manufacturing and technological skills to the craft of teaching. Throughout the course you build on this with significant, supported teaching experience of approximately 21 weeks in two or more schools.

On placements, you are assigned an experienced and fully qualified school-based mentor to support your development from active observer to independent teacher. Your teaching skills are developed through working with individual pupils, small groups and whole classes.

We have strong partnerships with a large number of secondary schools over a wide area, and many of our trainees find employment in our placement schools. The range and level of skills that our students bring to the classroom are greatly valued by many schools, and students on this course have been some of the most successful in securing early permanent positions.
