The International Postgraduate Certificate of Education (iPGCE) programme is designed to support educators who are currently in practice outside the UK. This level 7 (Masters Level) course develops practical teaching skills while deepening your critical awareness of education in rapidly changing global contexts. The iPGCE provides a grounding in contemporary pedagogy, while offering challenge and deeper critical perspectives for established professionals. Wherever you are in your career, the iPGCE can support your professional development and help you progress. If you continue onto a Masters programme, such as our online MA Education, credits gained on the iPGCE will count towards that qualification. This programme is designed to be completed alongside full-time employment as a teacher, allowing you to engage flexibly at times that suit you, so you can study around your professional commitments. Unlike many other qualifications, the iPGCE does not rely on active support or involvement from other staff or management in your setting and can be completed successfully within any educational system or curricular framework. By studying this postgraduate qualification, you will gain valuable knowledge relevant to all subjects and curricula, encouraging you to consider new ways of understanding teaching, learning, and education in an international context.
