German Extension Course
What is it?
It is a free, full time, pre-ITT (Initial Teacher Training) German language course, fully-funded by the Training and Development Agency for Schools (TDA) for students who wish to embark on a teaching career in Modern Languages. Participants receive a bursary of £2,400 and numbers are strictly limited to a maximum of 20 places.
Participants need to have a conditional teacher training place and must have one modern language to degree or native speaker standard.
Students with no or little experience in German are able to attend an intensive two week "ab initio" programme prior to the main course. All students take part in a fully-funded two-week study visit to Hamburg where they are able to consolidate what they have learnt in class.
