What will I learn?

If you're looking for a rewarding career where you can make a positive difference to other people's lives, teaching is a great choice - and on our PGCE courses, you'll gain you the skills and confidence you need to become an outstanding secondary school teacher. On each of these teacher training degrees, you'll be supported by our tutors and school-based mentors as you learn to plan and deliver lessons with strong subject knowledge, confidence and imagination, while reflecting on what it means to teach at secondary level. You can study full time over one year, or part time over two. We've got excellent links with many secondary schools in the region – so when you finish your PGCE, you'll graduate with excellent career prospects, and eligibility for Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) - the teaching qualification you'll need to teach in secondary schools in England and Wales.
