PGCE Secondary English with Qualified Teacher Status

Enhance your knowledge of subject-specific pedagogy and skills through university sessions and school-based work. With a focus on school-based training in educational settings you develop professional skills and are encouraged to critically reflect on your progress through personal, academic and professional review tutorials. Since English is a core subject, qualified teachers specialising in it are highly desired by schools upon graduation. Upon graduation most students go directly into employment as qualified teachers. However a number of key transferable skills are developed throughout the course, allowing for alternative

progression or career routes, such as: research via masters-level study and PhD; local authority/voluntary sector work or research; non-government organisation (NGO) administrative and research posts; enrichment work with young people; more general graduate careers including retail management and the civil service.
