Study Details: PGCE 1 year full time
This PGCE Secondary Mathematics course trains you to become a mathematics teacher for 11 to 16-year-olds. Accredited by the Teaching Regulation Agency (TRA), the course offers you a continuity of support throughout both your theoretical learning at London Met and hands-on practical experience in placement schools. Trainees on our PGCE Secondary courses attain high results, with 95% achieving an Ofsted good or outstanding grade by the end of the course and 96% going on to obtain employment, often with their placement schools.
Department of Education (DfE) bursaries are available for this course and the University also offers a well-established Subject Knowledge Enhancement in Mathematics if needed.
You’ll be introduced to current debates in mathematics and a range of interactive teaching styles, including computer presentations and group work. Should you need help boosting your own mathematics knowledge, we run a Subject Knowledge Enhancement (SKE) course to help your training.
The Teaching Regulation Agency (TRA)-accredited PGCE Secondary Mathematics course focuses on teaching mathematics to 11 to 16-year-olds and leads to Qualified Teacher Status for Key Stages 3 and 4. It also provides opportunities to work in A level environments.
The course will develop your understanding of teaching in multicultural, urban environments. Through your studies at London Met and teaching on school placements, you’ll explore the links between how children learn and the ways you can improve their mathematical skills.
We place great emphasis on sharing feedback with your peers and colleagues. You’ll complete a weekly reflection and contribute to discussions online, to develop your understanding of what it means to be a secondary school teacher.
In addition to the Universit’s standard entry requirements, you should have:
We do make conditional offers (with strict deadlines) so it is important that you include all pending qualifications in your UCAS application.
The University will assess any overseas qualifications for equivalence using a number of resources including our own internal guidelines, the UK National Recognition Information Centre (NARIC) and the Overseas Degree Table.
