Teaching degrees abroad

A teaching degree abroad will focus on the skills needed for teachers in a specific area of education for example elementary level, foreign languages, or a UK PGCE.

In a teaching program you will learn theoretical practice to get the most from students, as well as a lot of practical learning and assessments to ensure you have the necessary experience to teach. The exact teaching program you choose will be shaped by the country you are studying in. It’s important to ensure that any teaching program you choose will be useful in the country you are wanting to work in too.

Teaching program structure

To begin a teaching specific program, universities often require a bachelor’s degree in any field. On a liberal arts degree you could have the opportunity to major in a specific form of education, which may help your application onto a teaching specific program. In the UK, your bachelor’s degree may influence the subjects you are able to teach at a higher level.

Many postgraduate teaching programs such as a master’s in education are used by those already teaching to enhance their careers. This is the same for those who decide to undertake a PhD in teaching.

As a teaching student you will spend a lot of time getting practical experience. This may be through placements, work experience or assessed classroom situations. In addition to this, your theoretical education will take place in lectures and classes talking through research and best practice.

When you begin a teaching specific program there are many areas of teaching you may cover as modules of the course; these may include:

  • Foreign language teaching
  • Elementary school teaching
  • PGCE (UK secondary school level)
  • Special needs teaching
  • Preschool teaching
