PGCE Secondary (Social Science)

Lincoln Bishop University

Our Secondary PGCE programme is designed to prepare you to teach your specialist subject to students aged 11-16 or 14-19. The course is structured to provide a blend of academic study and practical experience, ensuring you develop both the theoretical knowledge and practical skills necessary for a successful teaching career. Led by experienced senior lecturers (who are qualified teachers with extensive teaching experience) and supported by a network of schools and colleges, our programme aims to help you meet the Teachers’ Standards and achieve Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).PGCE social science offers a unique blend of theoretical knowledge and practical teaching skills, equipping you to inspire critical thinkers and engaged citizens. Imagine a classroom where you empower students to question societal norms, consider human thought and behaviour or develop vocational skills for the health sector. From sociology to criminology, psychology to health and social care, the 14-19 PGCE in social science encompasses a wider range of disciplines. The course allows you to teach social science and focus on your specialism at key stage 5, and the opportunity to teach a related subject at key stage 4. With our PGCE, you will become part of a community dedicated to educational excellence. Embrace this opportunity to motivate, provoke thought, and create a lasting influence on next generation of social scientists.
