Overview
The PGCE Secondary (Geography) course at Bishop Grosseteste University draws upon the strong heritage and tradition of BGU within the field of Initial Teacher Education and the course tutors are experienced geography teachers and teacher educators. This course will equip you to become an outstanding teacher.
You will consider the broader aspects of teaching, contexts for learning, the latest government initiatives and contemporary issues in teaching, learning and assessment. You will also work alongside trainee teachers of other subjects to consider cross-curricular aspects of education. These topics will introduce you to your career in the teaching profession.
Careers & Further Study
The teaching profession has a well-structured career pathway which moves progressively from initial teacher training through to newly qualified (NQT) status to qualified teacher. Many continue to work in our partner schools, becoming mentors to our trainee teachers, pursing further study to full Masters and Doctoral level at BGU and taking on leadership roles including Headships.
