Masters Degree Description

Guide children through their first years in education with our Primary PGCE (Postgraduate Certificate in Education). We’ll organise placements at local schools to give you experience and arrange study sessions on campus to help you perfect your teaching style.

As a primary school teacher, it will be your responsibility to inspire children, give them the basic skills they need for their future and make learning exciting.

We’ve designed this course to help you understand how children learn. You’ll develop the skills you need to make sure your students get the best start.
