Study Details: PGCert 1 year full-time
Welcome to the Swansea University Schools’ Partnership (SUSP/PYPA), an innovative collaboration of school and university-based staff working together to ensure that ‘Tomorrow’s Teachers’ have the skills and experience to make a difference to pupils in Wales.
Well-qualified Welsh teachers are in high demand across the UK. SUSP has developed an innovative Secondary Welsh PGCE programme that is designed to provide new entrants to the teaching profession with confidence in their subject knowledge and in their understanding of how to teach it. This programme will prepare you to make a positive contribution to the learning communities you will be joining. SUSP’s Secondary Welsh PGCE programme is underpinned by regional, national and international research. You will learn how to make Welsh meaningful, interesting and fun and also how to analyse your own and your pupils’ development.
SUSP’s integrated and rigorous PGCE programme will challenge you academically and professionally. The PGCE Welsh programme aims to develop critical understanding of the nature of Welsh and its position in the school curriculum. You will be encouraged to research and test your own approaches to Welsh pedagogy to find those techniques that work best for you and for the pupils you teach. SUSP is committed to developing research-informed reflective practitioners who can demonstrate creativity and flexibility in their teaching so that learners develop their competence in an environment that cultivates enjoyment of the subject.

Applicants for the Secondary PGCE are required to have achieved the following prior to admission to the programme:
The GCSE Grade B in English/Welsh and Mathematics are a requirement set by the Welsh Government. However, we welcome applications from those with a GCSE Grade C in English/Welsh and/or Mathematics. Applicants with a grade C in GCSE English/Welsh or Mathematics who meet all other entry criteria may be accepted if they complete successfully an equivalency test. Due to the current COVID-19 situation, we are unable to follow our planned timetable of equivalency testing. Therefore, applicants will be expected to sit their equivalency test(s) during the PGCE academic year where they will be given up to 3 attempts. Should the situation change before the summer, we will restart our programme of tutorials and tests before the beginning of the academic year. Please note that applicants must pass their equivalency test(s) in order to gain Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).
For fees and funding options, please visit website to find out more.
We offer a wide range of scholarships and bursaries for both taught and research courses to help you fund your study.
Successful completion of the SUSP PGCE will lead to recommendation to the Education Workforce Council for Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and provides opportunities for employment as a Newly Qualified Teacher (NQT) in schools.
