Our specialist programme, which provides high quality training and support, will prepare you to teach in the 11-18 age range and is run in close partnership with schools.<br><br>On the History Postgraduate Certificate in Secondary Education course you will be challenged to develop informed and justified decisions about how you approach your teaching, in order to enable you to continue to develop over your career.<br><br>You will also benefit from our unique collaboration with the University of Birmingham School as well as a wide range of partner schools, including mixed comprehensive, single sex, religious and selective schools and sixth form colleges. The diverse communities we serve will enrich your experience on the PGCE History programme.<br><br>We are committed to the idea that teaching is more than simple craft knowledge, it is the synthesis of theories about learning and hands on experience in the classroom. Teachers equipped with this will be able to reflect on their experiences and develop as teachers throughout their careers. On successful completion of your PGCE, you may return to study with us on a part-time basis to complete your Masters in Teaching Studies.
