Course summary

This programme, part of our Initial Teacher Education (ITE), equips you with the skills to achieve Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and to nurture the next generation of artists. Through a blend of university-based learning and school placements, you will develop the knowledge needed to teach visual arts at the secondary level. You will learn how to plan engaging lessons that foster creativity, encouraging students to explore various artistic mediums such as painting, drawing, sculpture, and digital art. Innovative teaching techniques will help you bring the arts to life in the classroom, enabling students to express themselves while developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills. During the course, you will undertake placements in a variety of schools, including urban, rural, and Welsh-medium environments. These experiences will broaden your understanding of diverse learning contexts, enhancing your ability to adapt your teaching to meet the needs of different students. The course also focuses on developing transferable skills such as classroom management, assessment strategies, and supporting students with diverse needs. Mentor support throughout your placements will provide valuable guidance as you grow as an educator.
