PGCE Academic Award

PGCE Academic Award

Most individual modules can be taken on a stand-alone basis, either as part of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) or as a means of working towards a postgraduate award over a period of up to five years. An increasing number of modules are delivered partly or wholly via distance learning.

Course Structure

The PGCE has been designed to deepen pedagogical skills and understanding gained from practical work in teaching experience. It complements and builds on the subject knowledge and practical elements of school placements, supporting you to become effective teachers of your specialist subject. It does this by helping you to develop:

  • Knowledge and understanding of the theory and practice of teaching and learning (pedagogy)
  • The capacity to apply that knowledge and understanding to classroom practice
  • The ability to think, talk and write fluently about the processes underlying pedagogy
  • Master’s-level thinking, reading, and writing skills
  • Critical insight into the educational system in order to thrive in the culture of schools
  • A robust professional identity that will equip you to be critical, collaborative, creative, and a caring teacher with a developing career profile

Our PGCE provides a strong community of like-minded students and tutors who provide mutual support for current and future professional development.
