Overview
On the programme offered by University of Sunderland you'll gain a globally recognised qualification and open up your career possibilities.
Key facts
Are you a teacher or education professional working internationally? Looking to take the next step in your career? The PGCE Education is an internationally recognised teaching qualification. You can study from anywhere in the world through distance learning.
The course is for both primary and secondary educators, whatever your subject area. It combines practical teaching strategies with key educational theory to support your development. Our expert academics will help you grow into a confident, reflective practitioner.
This qualification can open up opportunities in more senior teaching roles, as well as leadership and educational management positions. The skills you develop can also be used in related areas such as education policy and government.
Two of the modules are research-focused and delivered at master’s level. This gives you a strong foundation for further postgraduate study. When you complete the four modules, you'll graduate with a PGCE. You may, however, take up to three years to fully complete and graduate, if necessary.
If you successfully complete the course, you’ll also have a direct pathway into Stage 2 of our MA Education or MA International Education. Both are available to study through distance learning.
