Overview

Learning Support is taught at a number of UK universities, and the entry terms are set department by department rather than nationally. It is a one year foundation course, the year before an undergraduate degree begins.

Teaching in Education suits people already working in education as much as new graduates, and departments read experience carefully.

Tuition ranges from £17,900 to £20,000 a year depending on the department, which is a real difference over the length of the course.

Applications open around a year ahead of the intake. Getting the documents together early is what keeps the September date realistic.
