Started my journey at the University of Buckingham in 2014 and now I have covered two years studying here. The small town made me focus on studies and gradually i am opting to complete my degree in just 2 years. Happy to be here and satisfied with all services.

Course programme
Course content
The PGCE is a 37-week school-based course, during which time you will work under the guidance of a mentor and receive weekly tutorials to review progress and set targets.
It is available in most subjects and to all age levels. There are three residentials (nine days overall) to attend and these are supplemented by a weekly programme on the University’s Virtual Learning Environment (VLE). You will be assigned a University tutor who visits once per term to assess your progress and guide your development.
You will be assessed by both your mentor and your tutor and there are three assignments to complete.For teachers undertaking their first year of teaching we highly recommend your participation in our Ab Initio course in late August as an addition to the PGCE. This will provide you with some basic knowledge and skills to start teaching.
