Our one-year, full-time Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) Secondary Maths with Computing programme will equip you with the skills, experience and knowledge you need to teach mathematics to pupils aged between 11 and 16 – with the option of additional experience of A-level teaching. Upon successful completion of your PGCE, you’ll graduate with Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and 90 Master’s credits.

Mathematics can be a difficult subject for school children. There’s often a belief that you’re either good at it or bad at it, and there is a lack of awareness about the huge range of real-world applications it has.

Within our course you’ll learn and create your own new ways to make mathematics interesting, exciting and relevant. You’ll consider how games, practical activities, interactive teaching, ICT, problem-solving and investigations can support your teaching and

ABOUT

A great teacher can play a pivotal role in a secondary school child’s life. You’ll spend your days stimulating young minds and watching your pupils grow in confidence, so they can achieve their full potential. It’s a challenging career, but also one that’s also incredibly rewarding.

Our PGCE 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. It will help you understand how pupils best learn maths and computing, so that you can support and guide them – and optimise your teaching. It will also allow you to develop your own strategies to make teaching maths and computing an engaging and positive experience.

Our graduates go on to have great success in their careers. Alongside your PGCE, you’ll gain Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and 90 Master’s credits.

Career opportunities for qualified teachers are more diverse than ever before. Within a few years of joining the profession you could find yourself being promoted into a role with subject leadership and pastoral responsibilities, and progressing into senior leadership roles after experience of middle management.

We are committed to supporting you beyond your training year and work closely with schools and Newly Qualified Teacher (NQT) induction bodies to identify and provide support during your NQT year.
