PGCE Secondary History with Qualified Teacher Status

Benefit from a flexible framework, supporting your academic and professional development through a range of school-based training and university-based sessions in order to achieve Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). You are introduced to history-specific skills through university sessions and school-based work.

You are expected to consolidate your development, both in university and in schools, by researching appropriate material and accessing wider resources. 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.
