As a teacher of psychology, you’ll teach young people about the science of the mind and behaviour, and show pupils how they can analyse actions and interaction using evidence and theories. Studying on the PGDE (Secondary) Psychology course is a rewarding and absorbing experience where you will be contributing to a growing subject at a key time in its development. You'll develop your prior understanding of psychology, learning how to make the subject accessible to pupils. You'll also draw on your psychological knowledge in studying how to apply the science of learning in classroom contexts. Our tutors are highly experienced and knowledgeable and will provide you with personalised feedback throughout your studies to help you develop. They'll also assist you in connecting with the broader community of psychology teachers throughout Scotland and internationally.

This means having at least 80 University credits in another secondary subject, as outlined by the GTCS. School placements will focus on one or both of the subjects, increasing the flexibility of what we can offer, and giving students more options at the end of the PGDE course, and better prospective employability.
