What you will learn
The core content includes:
Alternative setting – an opportunity to experience education in its widest sense;
Bridging – the process by which practical and theoretical knowledge meet, and the transformative approach is enacted;
Compulsory modules – the co-constructed and co-delivered content (pedagogic and subject-related) of the programme;
Electives – a school-based and University-supported experience where graduates can elect to follow a more specialist line of inquiry in order to deepen curriculum knowledge;
Partnership conference – the opportunity to share best practice at a conference event in order that the partnership can be transformed;
Qualified Teacher Status – a compulsory professional pathway leading to the award of qualified teacher status;
Welsh Language Skill Development – a compulsory professional pathway to develop graduates’ confidence and competence in speaking Welsh.
Assessement Method
The programme design provides the opportunity for assessments to be closely related to classroom practice and draw upon evidence gained from personal experience. This approach further establishes the links between intellectual and experiential learning.
For example, students will be required to design, conduct, evaluate and share a close-to-practice research project which will directly impact on learners. Whenever possible, assignments will be submitted and marked electronically to facilitate timely and effective feedback.
Assessment components include written assignments, a portfolio, an individual video and a research project.

On the 1 August 2013, Swansea Metropolitan University became part of UWTSD.
