If you’re considering teaching in a UK state school, you’ll need to have a degree, and a recognised teaching qualification. Initial Teacher Education or Training (ITET) programmes across the UK are broadly similar, providing a combination of academic study and time in school, as you learn about key teaching methods. The routes, entry requirements, and statutory teaching standards are different depending on where in the UK you plan to train, and ultimately, teach. You can apply through UCAS for the main postgraduate and undergraduate teacher training programmes in Wales and Scotland. For programmes in England, use the DfE's 'Apply for teacher training' service.

There's many reasons to study in the UK, and knowing what your qualification means to employers, and how it can help you, is important when planning your education journey.

Entry requirements for conservatoire courses could be qualifications, auditions, other skills and interests, and more. Find out about them here.
