PGCE Secondary Spanish at University of Manchester

Programme overview

Train to teach secondary-level Spanish 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.

What you will study

Entry requirements

- Minimum 2:2 honours degree. If you are not a native or bilingual Spanish speaker, approximately 50% or more of your degree content should have focused on Spanish. For a 'Native' Spanish speaker we would expect C1/C2 level on the CEFR framework. If your Spanish ability does not meet this expected standard we would not consider you further in the process. A strong academic record at A-level (or equivalent), including French, German or Spanish. Experience: We recommend that you spend at least two days observing modern language teaching in a UK state secondary school prior to attending an interview. English language: IELTS 6.5 overall, 6.5 in writing, no sub-section below 6.0.
