Teaching
For the part of the course that takes place on campus, we teach using whole cohort lectures, practical workshops and group tutorials. This gives you a rich and varied learning experience. We also make effective use of My Dundee, the University’s virtual learning environment, which means you can access a range of materials online whenever it suits you best to engage with additional digital learning and self-directed study.
The two on-campus modules last for approximately 15 weeks in total, spread out across the academic year. There are also three professional placements in schools that last for six weeks each. You start the course with time on campus, followed by two study weeks and then your first placement. This format of on campus attendance followed by placement is repeated twice more.
Assessment
Each campus-based module is assessed by a written assignment.
Each of your three professional practice placements are assessed by both University staff and school partners, based on your performance throughout the placement and tutor observation. Professional placements are assessed against the General Teaching Council for Scotland’s Standard for Provisional Registration, which are the competence standards for teachers in Scotland.
