Teaching Internships are for second or third year undergraduate students or masters students who are interested in teaching one of the following subjects: Chemistry, Computing, Maths, Physics, Design & Technology (D&T), or Modern Foreign Languages (MFL). You must be studying for a degree in, or closely related to, the subject you’re interested in teaching.
