With "GET Across Borders", we would like to invite German Education Trainees, student teachers specialising in English, to apply for an internship in Scotland.
Every winter semester (Sept/Oct to March/April), we send student teachers in their Bachelor's or Master's degree to Scottish schools for six months. Partial funding is offered by the Scottish and German sides.

What can you expect?
- Intensive exposure to the language and culture of Scotland
- Get to know the Scottish school system, other learning cultures and concepts
- Gain valuable experience in teaching practice
(12-16 independent teaching hours per week)
- Acquisition of professional, education-specific vocabulary in the foreign language
- Strengthening of linguistic, intercultural and social competences
- Education to become cosmopolitan and enlightened "global citizens" with the necessary skills for
international competition
