PGCE SECONDARY WITH QTS (QUALIFIED TEACHER STATUS) FT This innovative Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) programme that leads to Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) is delivered in partnership with schools across Wales. The Swansea University Schools’ Partnership (SUSP) has designed the programme to produce teachers who are research informed and able to reflect upon their practice in order to improve all aspects of student learning. The programme produces teachers who will enter the profession with subject, pedagogical and research knowledge. They will be prepared as career-long professionals who can respond to the changing nature of knowledge in society and will be experts in teaching their students. We offer PGCE secondary programmes in the following subject areas: • Biology • Chemistry • Computer Science • Design and Technology • English • Mathematics • Modern Foreign Languages (French and Spanish) • Physics • Welsh English and Welsh medium pathways available.
SUSP has high expectations of student teachers and applicants must demonstrate to an interview panel that they have the intellectual qualities, attitudes and values required for teaching in the secondary sector. Applicants must also have the personal attributes that will enable them to develop as research informed reflective practitioners and the resilience to adapt well to the demands of the programme. Prospective students are encouraged to contact Dr Helen Lewis or Dr Neil Lucas - pgce-enquiries@swansea.ac.uk to discuss the requirements of the programme or complete an enquiry form via our website: s wansea.ac.uk/education/ postgraduate-study/pgce/enquiry/
