What you will study

The on-campus sessions not only provided us with fundamental and background knowledge for teaching but also gave us an opportunity to make friends, socialise and learn from each other's experience. "The placements, meanwhile, were very useful to put our learning into practice" Madhu Jena / PGCE Primary PGCE Primary will train you to teach children aged 5 to 11 with training in all primary National Curriculum subjects and a particular focus on Mathematics, English and Science. You will combine university-based learning with extensive school-based experience.

Career pathways

My school-based placements have been great its what the course is all about and makes it all real. Having visits from University tutors, and the odd day here and there during the placement, means you remain connected to the Uni and your course mates.
