SCHOOL DIRECT
The University of Manchester works with local schools to offer the School Direct route into teaching across PGCE Primary and various PGCE Secondary options.
School Direct Route
The School Direct route means that lead schools recruit and select their own trainees, who will go on to complete their teaching placements and some of their training in their partnership schools.
Primary School Direct
If you choose the primary School Direct route, you will cover the taught course content through both a university- based and school-based training course. Some of your taught course will be planned, organised and led by your chosen School Direct alliance.
Secondary School Direct
The secondary School Direct option largely follows the same course structure as the general PGCE course.
We offer the following PGCE School Direct options:
- Primary School Direct
- Secondary Biology School Direct
- Secondary Business Education School Direct
- Secondary Chemistry School Direct
- Secondary English School Direct
- Secondary French School Direct
