Teacher Education in English
Our part-time Teacher Education in English is a four-year programme in an international setting, that has been taught in the English language since 2015. The programme is designed so that you can combine it with your current career, whether that is already within education or in a completely different field. From the first year on, you will have an internship at a Dutch school where you will be functioning as a teacher, depending on your experience. Students who already have a teaching job will use their job as their internship.

Besides the four main skills required in any language (Listening, Speaking, Writing and Reading), I learnt new organisational skills, how to be a team player, and research skills. The main aim of the course is the role of a teacher and the background of the English language. The work placement we are required to follow from the first year on provides me with the experience of working within the Dutch educational system.

In my first year I started an internship as part of my programme. Once a week I taught at secondary schools. If you love education and children, teaching is a wonderful thing to do. Sometimes it can be difficult to get the attention of all of the pupils, but by practicing your skills as a lecturer will get better. I really enjoyed this experience because I could start practicing my future profession from the beginning of my studies!
