PGCE Study

The Faculty of Education offers PGCE courses to graduates wishing to train to teach in early years & primary, middle or secondary schools

The Faculty of Education offers PGCE courses to graduates wishing to train to teach in early years & primary, middle or secondary schools. The courses are taught in partnership with local schools with trainees spending at least 50% of their course working with teachers and children across the East Anglia region.

We aim to create a lively mix of trainees, from different backgrounds, cultures and parts of the country.

We seek to recruit:

  • those in their final year at university
  • those with higher degrees
  • mature applicants who have decided to become teachers after a period in another occupation or a career break

We deliver high quality courses in every age-range and our courses were graded highly by OFSTED in their recent round of inspections. Our Faculty is a Category A provider in Primary and Secondary education.
