Study Details: PGCE 1 year full-time
This course qualifies you to teach modern languages at 11-16 (with post-16 enhancement).
For many children, school is the first opportunity to learn a foreign language. As a language teacher you will not only help them to communicate, but deepen their understanding of other cultures and promote international tolerance and understanding.
Tailoring your course
We want to make sure that you have all the options you need to become the teacher you want to be. That’s why we give you a range of opportunities to make your course your own.
Language specialisation
We offer French, German and Spanish as a first or second language. We strongly encourage you to study two languages as schools expect you to be able to teach your first language to GCSE/A-level and your second language to at least KS3, ideally to GCSE. You’ll attend sessions to develop your own language skills, in particular your second language.
