As a PGCE is a government funded course , there are some great opportunities to save money on the qualification. With these more desirable subjects, students can receive grants to cover the entirety of their tuition fees and to cover all living costs. An exciting development recently is that, in many universities, the PGCE course counts for the equivalent of half an MEd.
The second half of the qualification can then be completed part-time over the following year, costing half the price and with the opportunity to work in teaching until the course is finished. After years of studying and after your stint as a postgraduate student, it might be high time you travelled the world.
Pupil numbers are rising and this increases the demand for teachers. If you've completed a PGCE in a shortage subject, such as physics, maths, chemistry, computing, languages, biology, geography or design and technology, your knowledge and skills are particularly sough after.
To learn more, see how to get a teaching job. You should attend open days and meet course tutors to make sure you get answers to all your questions. Consider asking:. To find out what's on offer and which institutions match your requirements, search PGCEs. Applications can be made throughout the academic year. However, providers are able to close the applications after a minimum of two weeks if they have enough quality applicants. They may open again later in the year but it is strongly recommended to apply early for the more popular courses.

All candidates are also encouraged to spend at least one day of observation in a non-selective, state funded UK secondary school prior to an interview. If, however, you cannot complete this observation then you are still encouraged to attend the interview.
If you are moving to Oxford for the first time we suggest that you seek accommodation as centrally as possible, because you will then have access to more public transport options and thus can be considered for placements within more partnership schools.
As the PGCE works with schools across Oxfordshire and in neighbouring counties we can consider requests to be excused from this requirement, but this is not guaranteed. Accommodation is not guaranteed for any student, but there are plenty of options to explore. Colleges and the Graduate Accommodation Office offer a wide range including non en-suite single rooms and private flats. Once an offer has been accepted PGCE students can simultaneously apply for college and Graduate accommodation.
If you have childcare responsibilities then advice is available from Childcare Services. Throughout the PGCE students experience two partnership schools, when your second school placement is decided the University department also consider your experience so far on the course and the developmental priorities that have emerged.
It is important to note that not every school will offer a training place for every subject and that a place at a particular partnership school cannot be guaranteed. All PGCE interns are guaranteed a college place. For the PGCE, a college choice is not made at the point of initial application.
Upon accepting your offer to study you can select your preferred colleges from a list of available institutions, or you can choose to not state a preference.
We do set SKEs as conditions of offers. We typically set SKE courses where students have been outside of formal education for a significant period, or when they have studied a subject related to the area that they wish to complete a PGCE in. If invited to interview there will be an opportunity to have a tailored conversation about your SKE options with the panel.
If you are interested in completing a Subject Knowledge Enhancement SKE course then you should briefly mention this in your application form. Although not a condition of an application or of an interview, experience within a state-funded UK secondary school is highly recommended. During the Covid pandemic we prioritised the safety of our students and staff.
For example, our in-person classes are taught in socially-distanced classrooms, and the University offers its own testing service. While we hope we will not need to do so again, in Spring we removed our PGCE students from partnership schools before the national lockdown. As the situation evolves it is hard to discuss the precise measures that will be in place for September If you have any questions then please get in touch. Please direct all enquiries to our PGCE Office and a member of the administrative team will be happy to assist you.

It aims to help you make the complex transition from having been a successful student of English in higher education to becoming a successful school teacher. The English programme has been developed with colleagues from our partnership schools and is based upon the following core principles:.
English teaching in England is subject to continuous change and development. The Internship English programme is intended to enable beginning teachers to meet the challenges of change confidently and creatively. Assessment of your progress and achievements are jointly carried out by your schools and the university, and you take part in informal and formal discussions about this. Continuous assessment is used throughout the course and there are no examinations.
We look for applicants with a good degree in English or a degree in another subject that involves textual study together with further degree-level work through the Open University, for example in English. We of course welcome applications from those with degrees in English Language or Linguistics as well as in English Literature.
More than three quarters of our interns have degrees from outside Oxbridge. Learning to become a geography teacher at Oxford is challenging, stimulating, very rewarding and thoroughly enjoyable. The subject naturally lends itself to a huge range of student learning activities, both in the classroom and in the field, and most interns find this diversity one of its attractions.
The main aims of the geography course are to provide the foundations for you to become an inspiring and effective geography teacher of young people who now find themselves living in a fast-changing world, and to quickly become innovative leaders in the field. Central to the course is the basic tenant that all young people, regardless of social class, race, ethnicity, gender or ability can learn and enjoy geography, and that geography, as a discipline, has a significant contribution to make to the broader aims of education.
The course consists of an integrated programme of lesson observations, school-based activities, teaching and reflection in school and university workshops, lectures, tutorials and fieldwork. In school you will begin by working with teachers and small groups of pupils. As your confidence grows, you will plan and teach lessons with a class teacher and with other interns, sometimes working with a group of pupils, sometimes with a whole class.
In the University, you will work with the other geography interns, and with the geography education tutors. You will be expected to read and to think about teaching in a critical and theoretical way, taking account of your own ideas about the sort of teacher you would like to be. You will be able to make a real difference to pupils, fostering their learning of the important issues which shape the future.
All geography interns gain fieldwork experience in their schools and during a weekend residential course at a Field Studies Council Centre; the practicalities of organising such trips are explored in departmental sessions. We welcome applications from candidates who have not studied Geography but have completed a degree in a related area, such as Geology. Applications from those who may need to complete a Subject Knowledge Enhancement course are also welcome. Our course is based on a strong set of partnerships built over a long period of time with local schools.
This partnership extends to include visits to local museums, a local case study and visits to a number of London schools to explore EAL and diversity issues. Sometimes, the universities that are best at teaching are not necessarily the best in your subject, and given the course is designed around teaching, you want to make sure you find the best place for you.
