'Throughout the course, you develop an understanding of both the theory and practice of teaching RE (as your 'major' subject' and History (as your 'minor' subject) using a range of learning and teaching approaches. You are supported in developing practical classroom skills both in teaching RE and History and in the teacher’s wider professional role.

 

Our programme prepares you to teach across the age range 11-16 and is structured around a combination of taught modules based at the University and placement modules based in schools or educational settings. Classroom practice is assessed through placements, totalling 120 days. You also have the opportunity to gain Masters level credits (up to 60 credits).

 

We place significant emphasis on enabling you to apply your learning to teaching in the classroom. During your teaching placements you will have the opportunity to work alongside some of the best and most inspiring teachers predominantly in Hampshire secondary schools. However, we also offer a number of placements in neighbouring counties, such as Dorset, Wiltshire, Berkshire and Surrey.
