Course Overview

As well as in-depth modules where you’ll study everything from Shelley to sociolinguistics, you’ll spend lots of time in schools. You’ll help with classes and see how the theory you’ve learned applies in real-life settings. Gaining inspiration from your mentors, you’ll start to develop your own teaching style and form your own ideas about the role of education.

Our experienced tutors at Edge Hill and the expert teachers in your placement schools will support you to become an outstanding professional teacher.
