How can we best inspire the next generation to navigate, create, and understand the digital world? This accelerated two-year programme is designed for those who recognise that teaching is a transformative craft, bridging the gap between high-level computer science knowledge and the pedagogical skills required to lead a secondary school classroom. Rather than a traditional three-year path, this intensive degree integrates deep subject mastery with a rigorous exploration of educational theory, policy, and practice, positioning you to transition directly into teacher training or professional roles in education.

You will work alongside specialists in the Faculty of Science and Engineering to master core computational concepts while simultaneously developing a toolkit for modern pedagogy. The programme is highly experiential, leveraging a network of over 600 partner organisations, schools, and charities to ensure your learning is grounded in real-world contexts. Whether you are aiming for a career as a specialist teacher or looking to pivot your professional focus, this course provides a unique environment to reflect on your practice, gain hands-on experience in diverse learning settings, and even pursue accredited Forest School certification to expand your teaching toolkit into outdoor environments.

An Accelerated Path to Professional Practice

The curriculum is purposefully structured to treat you as a future educator from day one. By combining academic rigour—such as exploring the "Big Questions" in education and contemporary research—with practical placements, the programme ensures that you graduate not only with a degree in Computer Science, but with the professional confidence to manage classrooms, design effective learning experiences, and adapt to the ever-changing landscape of secondary education.
