Study Details: PGCE 1 year, full-time
This is for you if... you have a degree and would like to train to teach 11-18 year-olds as part of the Lead Partners scheme.
Lead Partners was introduced in 2012 and allows schools to recruit students onto teacher education courses run in collaboration with universities. To make sure you have a range of placement opportunities, schools work together in Teaching Alliances.
This course is made up of both campus-based sessions - which will give you a grounding in the principles of good teaching practice - and school-based placements giving you the chance to apply your knowledge and experience a wide range of classroom situations. These placements will be in contrasting schools to give you a broad range of experience - they could be in city, suburban or rural schools, in the independent or state sector.
By the end of the course you will achieve Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and awarded a University of Leicester PGCE.
The Lead Partners Secondary PGCE is run in partnership with a range of partner schools. You can choose which school you would like to apply for and then submit your application through UCAS.
(We may, under exceptional circumstances, accept a Third if there are other very strong recommending features in your application.)
For fees and funding options, please visit website to find out more.
There are a number of possible sources of funding: loans and grants, bursaries and scholarships.
We will support you in applying for teaching posts. The mock interviews we include as part of the course have directly resulted in job offers for our students.
We foster your continued relationship with Education at Leicester once you become an NQT by supporting your career development in a number of ways.
