Joe - studied Philosophy, Religion andEthics here at ֲý before starting his teacher training.
“Although philosophy and theology don’t necessarily have direct teaching characteristics associated with it, the transferrable skills such as critical thinking, analysing situations, and being able to conduct a debate have all proved to be an integral skill to be a teacher. These skills were not obvious when I was applying to the course but were distinctive when I began the course and settled into my placements.”
