| Secondary education is all about stimulating young minds and watching pupils grow in confidence to achieve their full potential. It can be a challenging profession, but also one of the most rewarding. Teach history and you could really set your pupils’ imaginations alight, instilling a life-long passion for history. Our PGCE Master’s programme closely interweaves school and university-based training. Over 38 weeks, you’ll spend at least 120 days (minimum 24 weeks) on school placement and 60 study days in structured learning at UEA. Our course will provide you with the opportunity to research and evaluate the latest thinking in good teaching practice, helping you understand the optimum ways pupils learn. Importantly, it will also enable you to develop your own strategies to make the challenge of teaching history a satisfying and enjoyable experience. |
