Course summary
OVERVIEW
Our one-year Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) prepares you to teach the art and design secondary school curriculum.
You’ll learn teaching methods through interactive workshops – we’ll teach you as though you’re a pupil in a school art class.
This helps you to experience what it’s like to learn the same way as students and explore the different ways you could teach art activities.
You’ll have sessions across art, craft and design, from drawing to printmaking, ceramics to lens-based media such as photography.
For specialist mediums, such as ceramics and papercraft, we usually organise a series of guest lectures, inviting artists with expertise in these practices to teach you.
And, you’ll share your specialist art and design skills with your group too (students from past years have shared skills including bookbinding and Photoshop™).
When you’re at Manchester Met, you’ll mainly study with your art and design group. You’ll consider how to plan lessons, reflect on your planning, look at ways to develop your teacher persona and understand how research can develop and influence your teaching practice.
You won’t only learn teaching methods with us on-campus though, you’ll spend at least 120 days on placements in a variety of schools, gradually increasing your involvement to become an expert practitioner.
This PGCE is available via University led and School Direct PGCE routes.
CAREER PROSPECTS
Most of our graduates go on to work as art and design teachers in secondary schools.
The PGCE programme provides you with 60 masters' level credits when you graduate. You could put these towards a masters degree to help you develop your career in the field of education including our new MTeach masters specifically designed for Newly Qualified Teachers (NQTs).
