ABOUT
Enhance your professional performance by developing a deeper understanding of planning, teaching and assessment strategies, new technologies and links between practice, theory and research.
Course description
This course will help you develop a deep understanding of planning, teaching and assessment strategies, along with helping you to get the most out of new technologies.
It will help you to develop links between practice, theory and research through reflection on your own teaching, in order to enhance your professional performance.
Although you don’t need to be a practising teacher to apply for the programme, you’ll need to engage actively with current teaching, including planning, conducting and reflecting on a lesson (module 1). If you don’t currently teach, you should be in a position where you have access to an education environment, for example through volunteering in a classroom setting or as a personal tutor.
Qualified Teaching Status
While the iPGCE does not offer Qualified Teacher Status, many international schools recognise the value of our postgraduate education certificate. Please see our explanation of Qualified Teaching Status for more information.

Modules
The content of our courses is reviewed annually to make sure it’s up-to-date and relevant. Individual modules are occasionally updated or withdrawn. This is in response to discoveries through our world-leading research; funding changes; professional accreditation requirements; student or employer feedback; outcomes of reviews; and variations in staff or student numbers. In the event of any change we’ll consult and inform students in good time and take reasonable steps to minimise disruption. We are no longer offering unrestricted module choice. If your course included unrestricted modules, your department will provide a list of modules from their own and other subject areas that you can choose from.
Duration
1 year part-time (online)
Teaching
The course is fully online.
Because nearly all students on the course are professionals and based all over the world and in different time zones, core teaching and learning is asynchronous. This means you can work in your own time at your own pace.
An introductory period during the first weeks of the course consists of reflective tasks, learning to use the library and online discussions, setting the expectations for the rest of the programme and ensuring all students begin the first module on a similar footing. Teaching and learning takes place at a variety of levels.
Personal supervision
Each student is assigned a personal supervisor. Your supervisor will advise on assignment proposals and drafts, and mark your work.
Independent study
Independent study is fundamental to the course. You’ll critically engage with, reflect on and formulate perspectives on important issues and debates concerning teaching, schools and other teaching institutions, and explore education from relevant academic and other literatures.
Interactive collaboration
We encourage you to interact with fellow professionals on the course through discussions on a range of topics. You’ll have lots of opportunities to share ideas and your own progressing work and development, and to explore current developments in education as well as course materials.
Assessment
You’ll be assessed on:
- a learning and teaching portfolio, which consists of a lesson plan, a teaching reflection, a pedagogical essay and a blog post, totalling 4,500 words (module 1)
- a report on a small-scale research project, equivalent to 4,500 words (module 2).
Entry requirements
A good first degree (2:1 or above, or the international equivalent).
Under exceptional circumstances, we may be able to consider qualifications and experience that are equivalent to a good honours degree in a related field. In such cases, you would need to evidence equivalence and may be asked to complete an entry assessment.
Overall IELTS score of 6.5 with a minimum of 6.0 in each component, or equivalent.
Fees and funding
- Home (2022 annual fee) : £4,333

After Graduation
The international students can work up to 20 hours in part-time jobs in the UK, however, they must refer to their visa to see whether they have study and work permits or not, we recommend you to focus only on your education to get the best results and be able to find the most suitable jobs in the UK or the global market right after graduation, on the other hand, if the international applicants need extra financial help to pay for their tuition fee, living, and study expenses, they can find part-time jobs under some conditions, also if the students find related jobs to their educational fields (with the help of the university), they will obtain more real experience and skills aside from the theoretical knowledge that they acquire during their study period.
