TEACHER EDUCATION AND TRAINING

Teaching is more than just a job. It’s a vocation. If you want to help youngsters kickstart their learning or are keen to share your passion for a specific subject at secondary school, it’s a rewarding career.

A postgraduate qualification can help you move forward in your career, whether you’re taking a step up into school or college leadership or making the move into teaching from another industry.

By studying a teaching or education course at the University of East London you’ll gain the knowledge, skills and confidence to inspire young minds, whatever age group you’re working with.
