At our Dumfries campus you will benefit from small-group teaching, strong links with local schools, innovative teaching methods and a friendly and inclusive academic community.
This programme includes a substantial element of well-supported teaching experience. You will complete four school placements, all of which are designed to give you a sound background teaching in our local schools. In years 1 Ð 3 these are six weeks in duration and in year 4 you will have a ten-week placement, during which you will take full responsibility for a class for at least four weeks. Placements cover all stages of the primary school and each placement has a relevant focus in specific curricular areas.
