Teacher Education at Manchester
A PGCE at The University of Manchester is highly regarded, and not only in the UK. During the course, you will undertake high-quality, school-based training in our committed school partnerships, combined with expert academic teaching in a collegial context at the university. Our teacher education curriculum is underpinned by the most up-to-date research on education, some of it being undertaken here in the prestigious Manchester Institute of Education. We’re committed to the education and training of teachers who are passionate about environmental and social justice, and supporting them to enact this commitment in their teaching. This means, for example, that we work from anti-racist principles in our recruitment, in our partnerships with schools and colleges, in our teaching and in listening to our trainees, and that we aim to help trainee teachers become agents of positive change in education.
