Course overview Start your teaching journey with our specialist programme. Develop your love of teaching and learning Geography to inspire children and young people from 11-18, through close partnership with our school network. The Geography PGCE (QTS) programme is designed to develop your understanding of what teaching Geography is and what teaching Geography does, while enabling you to use research to make informed decisions about your practice in, and beyond, the classroom. Deepening your understanding of teaching and learning, you will build a strong foundation as a teacher which will support you to pursue a fulfilling career in the field. Upon successful completion of the course, you will have the opportunity to return for part-time study and complete a Master’s in Teaching Studies.
You must have a strong academic record at A level (or equivalent) in relevant subjects, along with a solid undergraduate degree—usually at least a 2:2—relevant to the subject you wish to teach; in all cases, the relevance of your degree, other qualifications, and related experiences will be assessed to determine your academic suitability. You must also hold GCSEs (or equivalent qualifications) in Mathematics and English at Grade 4/C or above—these will be a condition of your offer if not already achieved, and equivalency testing is accepted only from approved providers. Additionally, before commencing the programme, you must complete an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check, undergo health and physical capacity checks to ensure you are fit to teach, and agree to abide by the University of Birminghams Code of Professional Conduct and Fitness to Practise.
