The Centre for Design and Technology Education is based in the School of Art and Design on the Psalter Lane Campus at Sheffield Hallam University.
Students have access to the wide range of workshop facilities.
Teaching design and technology makes a unique contribution to the education of all children. It prepares them to live and work in a rapidly changing technological world by introducing them to the design methods, technical understanding, planning and manufacturing skills needed to produce practical solutions to real problems. The role of the Design and Technology teacher in secondary education is an attractive one as the National Curriculum provides ample opportunity for teachers to develop the subject further. At present, demand for Design and Technology teachers exceeds supply on a national basis. Prospects for promotion to Head of Department and beyond are good.
