About
Course Information
On the University-led and School Direct PGCE routes, you will have lectures and seminars at Manchester Metropolitan and usually spend at least 120 days on placements in schools across the North West.
At university, you will mainly study with students in your specialism. Youll learn how to plan and deliver lessons through interactive, hands-on workshops.
Although you will mostly learn with your subject group, youll take critical studies lectures and reflect on professional development in sessions with mixed groups with students from other subject areas.
These sessions help you to develop all aspects of your professional practice. Some of the topics youll explore include behaviour management, mental health and emotional wellbeing, teacher persona, and safeguarding.
You will also develop your study skills during these lectures, engaging with the latest educational research and theories. Engaging with research ensures your classroom practice is current and meets the needs of your learners. Many of your tutors are involved in research and will be able to provide insight into how this informs your teacher persona and classroom practice.
At the beginning of the course, youll be supported in developing your study skills and how to engage with postgraduate studies, alongside being introduced to education and the professional requirements of teachers.
Well also give you a full overview of the year and the tasks youll be completing, to help you to stay organised throughout the course.
Youll also be supported with your employability throughout the course. Tutors and mentors will help you to develop your teaching CV and prepare you for your first post as an early career teacher.
On your placements, youll put the skills youve learnt at university into practice and build your confidence in the classroom. You will develop your subject knowledge and understanding of subject specialist teaching.
Whilst on placement, youll be supported by an experienced mentor. They will guide you through all aspects of your placement, from teaching your first lesson to assessing and reporting to parents.
During your placements, you will meet a variety of different learners and youll be supported to develop your teaching to meet their individual needs.
If you are on the University-led route, you may also apply to spend a short time overseas as part of your PGCE, gaining teaching experience in an international school. In previous years, students across our courses have taught at British International Schools in Kazakhstan, Cyprus and Norway, and public schools in France.
When you graduate, you will gain a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) in your subject, and Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and can work at any level in schools and colleges.
You will also be awarded 60 masters credits (a masters degree is 180 credits), which you could put towards further study and career development.
