Student Destinations

With QTS built in, you’ll be able to apply for a position as a secondary school RE teacher immediately after graduation.

Module Details

We will look at the role of a religious education teacher, working with faith communities to look at the aims of RE in spiritual and moral development. You’ll use a variety of approaches towards teaching, including relationships with ICT and citizenship, to create a better learning experience for students. We believe that experience is not enough – what is vital is to be able to unpick and reflect on experiences. You’ll deconstruct classroom learning activities into their constituent parts, and then build them up again and implement them in the classroom
