Partnership with the British Army

Since 2003, we have had close links with the Directorate of Educational and Training Services Army (British Army) DETS(A).

Working with army officers at their Worthy Down base, programmes have been organised to benefit careers of army personnel and officers. Officers take the Postgraduate Certificate in Education. The success of this programme led, in 2006, to a bespoke programme for a master’s degree.

The success of DETS(A) led to further work with The Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst. The school now carries out one cohort of teaching training for civilian and military instructors per year awarding, on successful completion, either a Certificate in Education or, if already a graduate, a Postgraduate Certificate in Education. Training takes place at both the University of Southampton and at Sandhurst Royal Military Academy.

The Southampton Education School has close and long-standing links with the Directorate of Educational and Training Services (Army) DETS(A). A range of dedicated programmes have been organised to benefit careers of both army personnel and officers.
