If you’ve got an undergraduate degree and are striving to become a secondary school Modern Foreign Languages teacher, then studying our Secondary Modern Languages PGCE with QTS will help you on your way. We offer places for subject specialists French Spanish and German. You’ll develop your subject specialist knowledge alongside hands-on classroom experience.

Why Secondary Modern Languages PGCE with QTS?

  • The course is designed to emphasise practical engagement with the curriculum whilst developing your understanding of the theories which underpin the best models of practice. This means you'll be equipped with the knowledge and practical skills you'll need in the constantly changing world of secondary education.
  • We know there’s no substitute for learning how to teach in the classroom environment, so a significant amount of your learning will take place whilst on placement within one of our partnership schools. You’ll benefit from being able to observe experienced teachers, from practical hands-on experience and from mentoring to help you develop into an outstanding and successful teacher.
  • Upon successful completion of the course you will be recommended for Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), enabling you to start your first teaching post within a secondary school.
