Role description

About The Role

Get teaching experience with an internship

If you’re studying for an undergraduate or master's degree and interested in teaching, an internship could help you to understand what it’s really like in the classroom.

Internships run for three weeks commencing 15 June 2026.

Interns will receive a salary of £1,365 (£455 per week) paid to them upon completion of the full 3-week internship. This salary is subject to Tax and National insurance deductions.

Qualifications Required

Before you start, you’ll need:

  • To be interested in teaching chemistry, computing, maths, physics, design and technology or modern foreign languages.
  • To be studying for an undergraduate or master's degree related to the above subjects.
  • To have a right to work in the UK; if you are an international student, check your visa – many people on a student visa, for example, can work for 20 hours per week during term-time and full-time during holidays.

This programme is funded by the Department for Education (DfE). By submitting an application form, you are agreeing to the DfE's privacy policy. They will share information with you regarding developing a career in teaching via their ‘Get into Teaching Adviser Service’.

The DfE also offers free one-to-one support from advisers with years of teaching experience. You can talk to an adviser via phone, email, text or WhatsApp. This is an additional service to the internships programme, and you can still do an internship without having an adviser. If you do not wish to speak to an adviser, you can opt-out by contacting the relevant authority.
