Our PGCE programmes will allow you to develop teaching skills across the primary or secondary phase and make you familiar with the new curriculum in Wales. You will work with experienced, enthusiastic university tutors and mentors in our partnership schools across South Wales to develop and reflect upon your own teaching practice. The PGCE is a one year, full-time, 36-week course developed and delivered collaboratively by the Swansea University Schools’ Partnership (SUSP). Throughout the academic year, you will spend 120 days on school placements and 60 days in University-based provision. These teaching placements will enhance your knowledge of teaching and the curriculum, and also deepen your understanding of how children learn and develop. The skills, knowledge, and school experience offered will enable you to become a successful, qualified teacher in either the primary or secondary sector.
