Course summary

The Religious Education (RE) PGCE at UCL gives you a cutting-edge education with all the benefits of being in the heart of London. You will attend seminars with leading RE professionals and scholars, visit diverse places of worship and faith communities, and learn how to use sacred art in your teaching through visits to museums and galleries. You will learn from expert colleagues and alumni working in partnership schools to develop as an RE subject specialist. The RE PGCE supports all student teachers to develop the subject knowledge and skills they need to help young people explore ultimate questions about their own lives and the lives of others across ages 11-19 and for GCSE and A level. The Religious Education PGCE at IOE, UCL's Faculty of Education and Society combines the practical and theoretical aspects of becoming an RE teacher. The course includes professional experiences of planning, teaching and reflecting on lessons with a mentor in school and an academic tutor at UCL to provide personal and pastoral support throughout the course. Critical perspectives about why and how RE is taught in schools allow you to develop an in-depth understanding of the subject and why it is crucial for a just society. Exploring international approaches to the subject prepares you for global outlooks and opportunities. The RE PGCE team, alumni, visiting speakers and school partners work together to facilitate the development of expert teachers of RE who enable young people to critically engage in a religiously plural world. You are fully prepared to teach RE at Key Stage 3, Religious Studies and Philosophy at GCSE and A level, through teaching experience and specifically designed seminars with leading experts. There are also opportunities to develop experience and confidence in teaching Citizenship, Sociology, Psychology and personal, social, health and economic (PSHE) education on placement and through taught seminars.
