Teaching Internships

If you’re studying for a degree and interested in a career in teaching, an internship could help you to understand what it’s really like in the classroom. You’ll get to experience a range of activities to help you get a feel for school life.

Internships last 3 weeks, start in June and you’ll be paid £300 per week.

Teaching internships are only available if you're studying for a related degree and interested in teaching certain subjects. In 2023, these included:

  • Chemistry
  • Computing
  • Languages
  • Maths
  • Physics

Applications are now open for the 2024 Teaching Internship Programme

You can apply here 

Please email sarah.white@seeat.org if you have any questions.
