Our Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) for Secondary Education delivers top-quality training for aspiring secondary school teachers. This program aligns with the Department for Education's requirements for Initial Teacher Training. Successful completion leads to Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) - the essential credential for teaching in state-maintained schools.
Social Sciences offers a dynamic secondary curriculum covering: sociology (exploring social structures, identity, education systems, and research methodologies); health and social care (examining human development, healthcare systems, and public health initiatives); and personal development education. As a trainee, you'll master teaching techniques for students aged 14-19, with additional exposure to younger age groups. The program combines university instruction with hands-on school experience to develop your teaching expertise.
Graduates earn both QTS recommendation and 60 Master's-level credits upon completion.
