Course overview Start your teaching journey with our specialist programme. Develop your love of teaching and learning History to inspire children and young people from 11-18, through close partnership with our school network. Our History PGCE (QTS) programme is designed to develop your understanding of what teaching History is and what teaching History does, while enabling you to use research to make informed decisions about your practice in, and beyond, the classroom.

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.
