Course description

PGCE Secondary (Geography) will train you to teach secondary geography in the UK across the 11-16 or 11-18 age range, including the National Curriculum, GCSE and A-level.

Completion leads to a postgraduate qualification and recommendation for qualified teacher status (QTS).

Tutors and mentors will help you to transform your subject knowledge into teaching skills and educational theory into practice.

University tutors have substantial experience of teaching and of examining at a senior level for GCSE and AS/A level. Experienced teachers from our partnership schools complement teaching, including sessions led by subject mentors, who will help you develop your subject knowledge and provide advice about teaching methods.

University-based sessions will give you creative and innovative ideas to take into the classroom.

Aims

You will:

spend approximately two-thirds of your time in schools and colleges developing your practical teaching skills;
be assigned a mentor, who will help you plan lessons and develop marking and assessment skills;
observe and teach classes under the guidance of an experienced teacher.

Career opportunities

Completing a PGCE is one route to becoming a fully qualified teacher. This form of teacher training is recommended for anyone with an undergraduate degree who is looking to gain Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).

You need QTS to teach in a state-maintained or special school in England and Wales. Whilst other routes to gain QTS exist, they do not all come with the postgraduate qualification of a PGCE. A PGCE from The University of Manchester is a valued qualification regionally, nationally and internationally.

When you study a PGCE with us, we help you prepare for a successful career in education. You will be given clear direction, advice and support when making applications for teaching posts and our employment rates are consistently high.

In addition to this, a PGCE qualification can count as 60 of the 180 credits required for a Master's degree, and The University of Manchester offers a range of postgraduate Education courses should you wish to continue your professional development by completing a Master's as you progress further in your career.
