About the course

Contextualise current events for students across the 11-16 or 11-18 age range through the study and understanding of what’s happened in the past and bring your love of history alive through engaging storytelling and attention to detail. Our experienced university tutors and mentors will help you to transform your subject knowledge into teaching skills and educational theory into practice. As well as sparking your students' passion for history, you’ll be arming them with key analytical skills for future success, whatever they choose to do.

PGCE Secondary History student

"My subject mentors were great - they were super supportive and helped me develop my teaching in so many ways. My university tutor was incredible - always there at the end of the phone when I needed him and basically a rock throughout.”

Emma is originally from Australia and graduated from her PGCE Secondary History in 2021. She is soon to complete her first year of teaching. “My key takeaway has been about how much of teaching (and life!) is about collaboration. The cooperation amongst my PGCE cohort led to a lot of fantastic ideas that never would have happened otherwise.”
