The aim of the course is to develop you into a teacher who enables pupils to use computational thinking and creativity to understand and change the world. This course benefits from strong links with the British Computer Society (BCS) who are working with the Department of Education to develop the next generation of computing teachers through an organization called Computing at School. The opportunity this partnership provides gives you a head start engaging with expert computing teachers throughout the West Midlands at regular hub meetings. You will gain access to networking and subject development opportunities that are available. Events, such as our regional conference, are held throughout the year at our City Centre Campus. As one of 10 universities across the country designated as a Regional Centre, it is our responsibility to promote and display the very best computing teaching across the West Midlands. We want you to be a part of this from the start of your career. You will have the opportunity to do serial and block placements and you will have trained mentors, who will guide and support your studies and provide you with feedback.
