Do you want to make a difference?
You’re fascinated by education and its potential to improve lives. You may be undecided about becoming a teacher, but you know you want that door left open. If, when you graduate, you decide teaching is for you, you can study a 1-year Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE). In fact, this degree is a springboard to so many different careers. Education is all around us.
Join us as we study the impact of education in a wide range of settings, including schools, community projects, workplaces, museums, and hospitals. Take part in a unique opportunity to enrich a community of your choice. The Capstone Project in your final year is an exciting initiative, where you’ll receive £250 to invest in your own education project. You’ll become an effective communicator and inspire others. You believe that education has the power to transform lives, everywhere. So do we. This is your time to learn. To reflect. To experiment. To discover exactly what you want your contribution to be.
Combine academic study with practical experience
This degree provides important multidisciplinary tools for studying education. It selectively draws from fields such as history, philosophy, psychology, sociology, linguistics, and economics aiming to promote critical understandings of such things as teaching, learning, curriculum and assessment. Importantly, it considers the moral, social and political issues which intertwine with these, such as inclusion, access and equity.
Whatever your career goal, a key focus of the degree is work-based learning. With assessments being 100% coursework/practical-based, all students will undertake fieldwork in order to provide a context for enquiry and to develop employability skills. You will learn first-hand about our communities and how you can usefully contribute to their needs and possibilities.
Learn from experts
You’ll learn from lecturers who have worked in educational roles and carried out research for many years, including within schools, universities, local authorities, museums, and outdoor education centres, not just within the UK but all around the world. With so much experience to learn from, you’ll gain a unique and valuable insight into your chosen career. Our expert teaching team are committed to delivering an innovative education experience. Sounds good, right?
In the 2022 National Student Survey (NSS), 93% of students agreed staff are good at explaining things. 91% agreed that they recieved timely feedback on their work, that they have been able to access course specific resources when needed and that the course has provided opportunities to bring information and ideas together from different topics.
Join a diverse and supportive community
On this course you will explore issues such as social justice, decolonising the curriculum, disability, and neurodiversity. Everyone’s individual personal experience is vital to developing the knowledge and understanding related to these. We are committed to valuing diversity and will provide personalised provision for anyone that needs extra time or support through our personal tutoring system. We welcome students with lived experience related to these issues, and all students are encouraged to have their voices heard. Learning from each other and developing special bonds in and out of the classroom is an important and exciting part of being a university student.

You’ll start to analyse digital communication. Unlock the power of language. What will you create?

Observe the relationship between education and communication as we share our methods of delivering key messaging. This year, you’ll join a dynamic learning community. You’ll collaborate. You’ll enrich your life and that of others. You’ll feel part of something special because you are.
In the second year, you’ll further explore special educational needs and disabilities. You’ll discuss stereotypes, misconceptions and prejudice.

By the end of this year, you’ll have a good understanding of your own educational mission. You’ll feel energised by the impact you could make.

Or a programme of educational activities. You could design a stimulating ‘pop up’ learning environment. We’ll even give you £250 to invest in your initiative. Make a difference. Empower. Communicate. Celebrate and showcase your work in our graduate event. By the end of this year, you’ll have a deep understanding of your educational philosophy. You’ll have a vision of how you can make a meaningful contribution. Create your own path. Your future career is waiting.
