Subjects you can specialise in include: English, Geography, History, Mathematics, Modern Languages, Science, Society, Health and Development

Your time in schools will include:
- a period of 'school experience', performing a variety of tasks and observations, and beginning to teach your subject specialism
- a thirteen-week period of teaching practice during which you will teach up to two thirds of a conventional teaching load
- a 'school-based inquiry' - which is an opportunity to reflect upon and develop skills and insights gained during the course

At the University you will attend lectures and seminars addressing:
- the specifics of teaching your chosen 'main method' - that is, your subject specialism
- cross-curricular 'professional studies' including:
- school improvement and school effectiveness

School-based placements are undertaken in our Partnership Schools

Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) - one to three years part-time, flexible

The flexible PGCE course is a part-time route which allows you to take up to 3 years to complete the course and will qualify you to teach mathematics, modern languages or science in secondary schools.If you have had prior experience of working in schools or relevant study you may be exempted from certain aspects of the course.

This is largely a web-based course so regular access to the internet is essential. You will be required to attend tutorials at certain points in the course and an optional twilight seminar programme is offered in the School of Education. In addition, flexible route students are invited to attend the full-time PGCE course lectures and subject method sessions if they wish to do so.
