Overview
Why choose PGCE History with Humanities (QTS) at Middlesex?
Humanities teachers are in great demand and this course will appeal to graduates who are passionate about history and also want to develop the skills and understanding to teach outside their specialism.
The course combines study at Middlesex University with work-based training at partner schools.
History is more than a study of the past. It can give you a better understanding of your own and others' identity, provide valuable historical skills such as researching or critically evaluating evidence, and help you make sense of current issues, to understand how the present has been shaped by the past.
You will gain the knowledge and skills to work as a history with humanities teacher at a secondary school level. You'll develop the ability to transfer these skills and teach in subjects across the humanities spectrum (such as geography, citizenship or religious education).
Our ambitious History PGCE curriculum has fully embedded the
What you will gain
Our course gives you Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and a strong understanding of how and why to teach history in secondary schools while helping you appreciate the unique aspects of other subject specialisms. This will help you develop your confidence in teaching across a range of humanities subjects.
Middlesex University also has dedicated subject tutors who have established strong relations with external specialists and partnership schools across Greater London who will deliver contemporary and subject-specific training sessions.
The course integrates on-campus training at Middlesex University with school-based training at partner schools. You will be supported by mentors, university tutors and expert colleagues throughout your training to acquire the knowledge and skills required to meet QTS standards.
The wider course focus on the humanities will help you to develop a common pedagogical approach to teaching across all subject areas so you can teach humanities subjects at KS3 and history up to and beyond KS4 (at A Level).
We welcome your application regardless of your background or experience. For this course, ideally, we are looking for these qualifications: A 2:2 or above with at least 50% history content supported by a strong A Level (or equivalent) in relevant subjects. GCSE grade C / grade 4 in English and mathematics or standard equivalent. We also accept the equivalency tests by Equivalency Testing, A Star Teachers or any other appropriately accredited provider. We cannot accept functional skills or key skills or IELTS.
