English with Secondary Education (QTS) - BA (Hons)

Nottingham Trent University

During the first two years of the course you will be taught at our City Campus with BA (Hons) English students. During your third year you will be taught at our Clifton Campus. Secondary education covers a crucial period in pupils’ development. They learn about themselves and the world around them, gaining knowledge and skills that set them up for their adult lives. The role of a secondary teacher is to develop specialised subject knowledge, and to support the intellectual and personal development of their pupils. With a significant demand for new secondary teachers, you can be certain that you’ll make a positive impact on society. This three-year course will deepen your knowledge of English and how to teach the subject, fast-tracking you to beginning your career as a secondary teacher. Studying at NTU, you’ll develop your own knowledge of English and a holistic and inclusive approach to teaching. You’ll be taught by English experts and by former secondary teachers with an enthusiasm for their subject. Plus, you’ll spend plenty of time in the classroom, putting what you’ve learned into practice. Throughout the course, you’ll develop your passion for English and for professional teaching practice.  

You’ll graduate ready to start your career as a confident and effective teacher with the skills, knowledge and experience required in the modern classroom. You’ll be committed to shaping the lives of all our young people – sharing your passion for English and inspiring theirs.
