An outstanding national reputation
Sheffield Hallam is the UK’s largest provider of design and
technology education, which makes it a great place to come for
teacher-training. As a result, we enjoy a national reputation for
excellence in design and technology.
A remarkable place to learn
One of the exciting things about this course is that it’s not all
based in our education department but in our Faculty of Arts,
Computing, Engineering and Sciences. That means you are based right
at the heart of our workshops, studios and stores, surrounded by
other students and staff from a range of creative backgrounds and
disciplines.
Your route to qualification
The first year of the course is focused on you developing your
subject knowledge capability before going into the classroom.
Modules include • health and safety • design and communication •
manufacturing • systems and control.
You have access to specialist facilities including workshops with a full range of machine tools, CAD/CAM equipment, computer suites, design-teaching studios and specialist technology rooms.
In the second year of the course you focus on developing the skills you need to be a successful teacher.
Teaching placements
In year two you complete two contrasting placements in 11–16 or
11–18. This allows you to experience the full progression from Key
Stages 3 to 5. In total you spend around 120 days on placement.
While on placement you benefit from excellent support and mentoring from a university-trained mentor. We have placement links with over 600 schools and other institutions, and some of our students secure teaching jobs in one of their placement schools.
