Our courses give you the opportunity to specialise in a core subject of maths,
English or science, using dynamic pedagogical methods taught by expert staff
whose research spans a variety of educational areas. With us, you’ll get individual
tutor support, a school-based mentor for your placements, a University tutor and a
pedagogical specialist.
We have guest lectures and visits from members of the local educational
community – providing up-to-date perspectives on education – as well as
opportunities to develop a background in special educational needs.
We’ve got links with a range of educational institutions across the UK, in cities and in
the country. This means that our courses all come with fantastic opportunities to put
your learning into practice – giving you the kind of practical experience that future
employers value.
We’re always looking to improve our courses. Which means we do review our modules from time to time,
to make sure they’re of a high standard and are relevant to you and to your potential future employers.
The information in this guide is correct at the time of going to print, but some of the modules could change
before 2021. Please contact our admissions team if you do have any questions or for further information on
admissions@hull.ac.uk.

years – and you can apply for student finance as with a full degree.
That said, some of our modules are optional – so you can pick what you study to suit
your interests and career goals.
How many modules will I take?
Usually, you’ll take six modules a year: three from the start of term to Christmas, and
three more between January and the summer. Later in your course, some modules –
like larger-scale projects or a dissertation – might count as two modules and run for
the full year.

Careers
We’re not just about training you for three or four years: we
invest in you over the course of your career. So even after
graduation, you’ll be able to access professional development
opportunities such as our annual NQT (newly qualified teacher)
conference and our specialist Masters-level programmes.
Our team give you expert career advice and training. We’ll help you explore your
options and progress into a career you’ll love. You’ll learn how to apply for jobs, prep
for interviews and impress potential employers.
We can also get you into the room with a range of employers at on-campus events.
Networking helps you plan your career path and can open doors to internships and
job offers.
Some of our students choose to find summer employment abroad – working in
educational settings, enhancing their employability and giving them a chance to
put their learning into practice. They come back with an enhanced perspective on
educational settings in other countries.
