PGCE Secondary French at University of Manchester

Programme overview

Train to teach secondary-level French and gain Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). I chose to study at The University of Manchester because I thought training in a city like Manchester would offer me many different experiences, chances, and types of school. The tutors are super dedicated to teaching us all that they know; they all come with their own experiences, stories, and advice. Our tutors share this with us to help us develop as teachers ourselves. They are always there if you need anything and have answers and advice for whatever you need.
