A teaching internship can help you to understand what it’s really like in the classroom. They’re available for university students with an interest in teaching who are either in their second, third or final year of an undergraduate degree, or studying towards a master’s degree.
Internships last 3 weeks, start in June or July, and you’ll be paid £455 per week.
Summer 2026 internships are listed on this page. Placements are limited, so you should apply early to make sure you get an internship.
Once you've finished your internship, you can decide if you want to train to teach in England and get qualified teacher status (QTS).
You'll need to be studying for a related undergraduate or master's degree and interested in teaching one of the following:
- chemistry
- computing
- design and technology
- languages
- maths
- physics
If you’re interested in teaching a different subject, you can still get school experience and find out what it’s like to be in a classroom.
If you're an undergraduate student, you'll need to be in your second, third, or final year of study to apply for an internship.
