The PGCE Secondary Education in English degree will qualify you to teach English at secondary level in any state-maintained school in England.

 

This one year PGCE English course blends theoretical knowledge with carefully supervised teaching experience. You will attend placements in a variety of educational settings, to gain a broad understanding of the realities of teaching English in a secondary school.

 

Placements are an important part of the PGCE English course. During that time, you will benefit from practical learning and be supported by school-based trainers and University-based tutors.

 

Your progress will be assessed with written assignments, case studies and assessments of your teaching practice.

 

This course is a mixture of University-based learning and in-school training. The course is designed to enable you to spend 120 days in a school or other educational institution.
