If you are already working in a school and wish to further your professional development as a teacher, or are wishing to embark on a career in teaching, ourPGCE IDL is the ideal course for you. The PGCE IDL at the University is an internationally recognised teaching qualification. This course blends applied teaching theory and practice in three taught modules and one extended teaching practice module. It has been developed so that it can be delivered to primary, secondary, and post-16 teachers with any subject specialism. It is a 36 week full-time course, completed in one academic year. Currently there are three entry points during the year in September, January and March/April. The course has been designed so it can be undertaken both in the UK and in international settings. Our PGCE IDL is taught in two semesters and you will be assessed in four core modules. You will undertake your teaching practice module in a local school, where, for example, you may already be employed or where you have arranged a placement. While the PGCE IDL does not offer Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), which is normally required to teach in England and Wales, it is possible to obtain QTS through the ‘Assessment Only Route to QTS’ should it be required (eligibility criteria will apply).
