Internship Programme 2026 - South East Region

Get teaching experience with an internship

If you're studying for an undergraduate or master's degree and interested in teaching, an internship could help you to understand what it's really like in the classroom.

Internships run for three weeks commencing 15 June 2026.

Interns will receive a salary of £1,365 (£455 per week) paid to them upon completion of the full 3 week internship. This salary is subject to tax and National Insurance deductions.

• To be interested in teaching chemistry, computing, maths, physics, design and technology or modern foreign languages.
