PGCE courses

A PGCE (Postgraduate Certificate in Education) is a qualification that will give you qualified teacher status (QTS), allowing you to teach in UK schools. You’ll combine the practical experience of school placements with the cutting-edge theory behind teaching and education. Our PGCE courses prepare you for a successful career as a teacher.

Experienced mentors and professional tutors will run your school-based teacher education. You’ll learn to teach in schools in Sussex, Brighton & Hove, Surrey, Hampshire or Kent. University tutors will support you throughout the year.

We have a proud history of innovation for all our teacher training. We pioneered the model of school-based teaching over 50 years ago, which has now been adopted by all training providers in England.

You can also study on our Early Years Education (with Early Years Teacher Status) MA. This Government-funded course allows recent graduates and practitioners that are already employed in Early Years settings to train as Early Years teachers in one academic year, alongside studying for a full academic Master’s degree.
