PGCE Secondary Business Education Student

"You complete two contrasting placements on your PGCE. One of my placements was within a comprehensive school and the other was at a college. The two placements allowed me to see how different institutions work and allowed me to teach different specifications across different year groups. Throughout my placements, my university mentor was available to support me with any queries I had, and we had regular check-in calls to discuss my progress."

A PGCE has always been Yaseen’s aspired academic outcome. By training and guiding young students who are just like he once was, he is hoping to contribute back what society and the educational environment has provided for him. “Manchester is a vibrant and energetic place to study. The multicultural city is filled with affordable and exciting places to enjoy your leisure time in. Not only that, the people of Manchester are kind and friendly which just makes you feel much more comfortable to enjoy your PGCE.”
