This is a one-year course, based at the University’s School of Education and Social Work at our City South Campus in Edgbaston.
Although the PGCE offers you a valuable academic qualification, one of its major attractions is the fact that you will spend two-thirds of your time –120 days – working in schools and gaining valuable real-life experience.
You’ll work towards your qualification by attending workshops and group discussions, but this course is essentially very practical and hands-on.
This is a full-time, one-year course, which will train you to teach young people between the ages of five and 11.
All trainees learn to teach across the range of subjects in the Primary National Curriculum, but there is a strong focus on mathematics and English.
