Course programme

How will I study?

All teachers are prepared to meet a set of national professional standards, recognised by the award of Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).

In preparation for QTS, teachers prepare critical reflections of achievement, charting progress over the academic year. It includes evidence of lesson observations, engagement with professional development, and self-designed teaching and learning materials.

The main elements of the PGCE course are:
  • Professional Knowledge for Schools
  • Curriculum Studies
  • Professional Practice.
At all stages, assessment is shared between school-based professionals and University tutors.
