Course in depth
What this course covers, who it suits and where it leads.
What you'll study
This degree combines education theory and practice with French language study. You'll usually begin with foundations in how children learn and how schools are organised, alongside child development from birth to adolescence. Early school placements let you observe and support teaching from year one. As you progress, you'll move into curriculum design, pedagogy, and planning across core subjects, with a focus on supporting learners with additional needs. Year three introduces specialist options such as early years, SEND and inclusion, education policy, and QTS routes. Throughout, sustained school placements build your classroom practice and professional competence. The final placement involves leading classes against the Teachers' Standards where applicable. French study runs alongside this educational pathway.

International students
What applying to Strathclyde from outside the UK involves: fees, English, visa, funding and living costs.
Tuition fees
International tuition is £22,750 / year for this course (from the provider’s fee page). You’re not eligible for UK Tuition Fee or Maintenance Loans, so plan for fees plus living costs upfront.
English language
Most UK undergraduate courses ask for around IELTS 6.0–6.5 (no band below 5.5–6.0), or an accepted equivalent. If you’re just short, most universities run a pre-sessional English course that counts towards the requirement.
Student visa
You’ll usually need a Student visa (Student Route). After you accept an offer the university issues a CAS; you then show funds for fees plus about £1,023–£1,334/month living costs and pay the Immigration Health Surcharge for NHS access.
Scholarships & funding
Strathclyde offers the Faculty of Engineering International Scholarship (15% reduction in tuition fees) for international students, see Scholarships above.
Living costs
Budget roughly £1,100–£1,400/month outside London and £1,400–£1,800/month in London for rent, food and travel; the figure also matters for your visa.
Working while you study
A Student visa usually allows up to 20 hours/week in term time and full-time in holidays, useful alongside study, though not something to rely on for fees.
Visa rules and fees change. Always confirm the current requirements with Strathclyde and gov.uk before you apply.
