Study Details: 1 year
This course will help you develop a deep understanding of planning, teaching and assessment strategies, along with helping you to get the most out of new technologies.
It will help you to develop links between practice, theory and research through reflection on your own teaching, in order to enhance your professional performance.
Although you don’t need to be a practising teacher to apply for the programme, you’ll need to engage actively with current teaching, including planning, conducting and reflecting on a lesson (module 1). If you don’t currently teach, you should be in a position where you have access to an education environment, for example through volunteering in a classroom setting or as a personal tutor.
Minimum 2:1 undergraduate honours degree in any subject.
We may also consider your application if you do not meet the standard academic requirements but you have equivalent professional qualifications and/or professional experience. In such cases, you would need to provide us with evidence of how you meet these requirements and and you may be asked to complete an entry assessment.
The iPGCE provides excellent opportunities for developing a wide range of careers in teaching and learning and educational leadership, from the early years sector through to higher education.
It also provides a great platform for further study on to a wide range of postgraduate career development courses, such as our MA Applied Professional Studies in Education.
A selection of modules is available each year - some examples are below. There may be changes before you start your course. As you progress through your course, we'll confirm additional details for the core and optional modules available to you.
