Secondary Art and Design Staffordshire University

Overview

Champion creativity in the classroom and help pupils discover their artistic talents. Whether your passion is for fashion, sculptures or illustrations, you can inspire the next generation.

Key Features

You’ll spend time in local schools, plan engaging lessons, cover behaviour management techniques and discover how pupils learn. On campus, we’ll help you reflect on your teaching from a subject-specific perspective and give you one-to-one support.

But you’ll get far more than just a teacher training qualification with us. As part of our Education community, you’ll have access to the latest research on what works in the classroom and other evidence-based approaches.

On the Secondary Art and Design degree at Staffordshire University, you will have hands-on experience on placement. As well as teaching pupils, you’ll have the chance to get them involved in our poetry and visual arts project. It will culminate in the students’ creative work – such as photographs, drawings or paintings - being showcased in an anthology.

Careers

With a PGCE and Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), you’ll be ready to teach in schools across England.

Most of the graduates secure their first teaching position while on the PGCE, with many of them securing roles within our partnership schools.

After you’ve completed this course, you can join the Masters in Education. Your PGCE gives you Masters credits which means you’ll be fast tracked and can complete this course by the end of your second year of teaching.
