  • DeadlineStudy Details:

    PGCE with QTS: 1 year full-time

Course Description

The Secondary Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) is a one-year (36 week) academic course that trains graduates to be secondary school teachers of Modern Languages.

The PGCE course has been designed to train teachers to practise as a subject specialist teacher for the secondary age range (11-16). Trainees are assessed against the standards for Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) across the age range. Trainees will also often gain experience of the 16-18 age range, although they won’t be formally assessed in this phase.

Entry Requirements

  • An undergraduate degree, or a recognised equivalent qualification, in French, German or Spanish. This is typically 2:2 or higher.
  • For combined degrees, one of these languages must make up at least 50% however we may be able to consider other personal, professional or educational experience as evidence of subject knowledge, including A-level or other level 3 qualifications in related subjects. In these instances, if your application is successful, you may be required to boost your subject knowledge with a Subject Knowledge Enhancement (SKE) course before starting your PGCE. (Deadlines apply.)
  • Native speakers of French, German or Spanish may hold an undergraduate degree, or recognised equivalent qualification, in any subject.
  • Ideally you should have knowledge of a second language, even if only at beginners’ level. Applicants with only one language, if successful, will be required to boost their subject knowledge with a Subject Knowledge Enhancement (SKE) course before starting your PGCE. (Deadlines apply.)
  • GCSE grade C/4 or above in English and Mathematics, or equivalent. We do not accept Level 2 Key Skills, Functional Skills or Certificates in Adult Numeracy and Literacy as alternatives to GCSEs.
