Course Description

Help the next generation learn about the world and environment with our Secondary Geography PGCE (Postgraduate Certificate in Education). Here at Staffordshire University, we’ll help you reflect on your teaching and build your expertise. Through placements, you’ll become confident carrying out lessons in secondary schools.

Schools in the UK need geography teachers that are keen to share their expertise about different places, landscapes and processes.

We’ve designed this course to help you understand how to support KS3 and KS4 students. You’ll develop the skills you need to make sure young people in your class enjoy learning about our planet. And after you pass the course, you’ll be recommended for Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). This means you can apply for teaching roles across the country. 

Throughout your training, you’ll get hands-on experience on placement, join professional studies sessions, and attend curriculum workshops.

Entry Requirements

For this course, you need an Honours Degree with a 2:2 classification in Geography or a related subject and a GCSE grade C/4 or above in both English Language and Mathematics, we also expect you to be confident in technology.

After you apply, we’ll arrange a selection interview. During the interview process we will assess your subject knowledge and personal qualities, such as communication skills, resilience for teaching, and how easy you’ll find it to relate to secondary age students.

If you accept a formal offer, you’ll need to meet the Department for Education’s standards for physical and mental fitness to teach and you’ll need clearance to work with children (Enhanced DBS).
