Head of Department, Initial Teacher Education
The University of Huddersfield has an impressive track record of producing highly skilled teachers for the early years, primary, secondary and lifelong learning (post-14) sectors. So, if you’re looking to pursue a career in teaching then we could be the perfect choice. You’ll be equipped with the most relevant and up to date skills needed within the workplace. By choosing to study with us, you’ll join an inspiring, passionate and committed community focused on making your studies as enjoyable, rewarding and productive as possible. We look forward to welcoming you.
Have you ever had an inspiring teacher?
Someone who changed the way you thought about things and opened up a world of possibilities? Few careers are as rewarding as teaching.
Our Teacher Training courses could help you go on to make a real difference to people, young and old. And while you’re studying you’ll get practical experience that will transform your own prospects too.
Great teachers aren’t born. They’re made.
Thanks to our links with schools, colleges, early years facilities and local authorities, you will have the chance to get out there and get teaching. We aim to get you teaching early on, right from the first term in fact. There are lots of opportunities along the way to try different teaching settings, to give you a better feel of the options for your career.
We never forget what the end goal is - to get you in front of students so you can develop their talents.
So, we make sure there’s always plenty of opportunity to do just that. Even in your course work you’ll be able to use mock classrooms for Early Years and Primary practice, and we also offer a science lab and music room. You should feel right at home in the school environment.
Depending on the subject and the age range, competition for teaching posts can be really high. So, we give you the chance to stand taller than the rest, with the latest research, cutting-edge teaching and exciting placement opportunities.
