This Post Graduate Certificate Education (PGCE) Secondary Geography course leads to the award of Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), qualifying graduates to teach the 11-18 age group in secondary schools in England and Wales. Students' tutors are a diverse and incredibly experienced community of academics. They will be taught by those with national reputations as experts in the field of geography in education.

Students will examine a range of pedagogical approaches to geography teaching and address all aspects of secondary geography including specialist expertise in areas such as physical, human, environmental geography, and fieldwork or ecosystems, meteorology and climatology, economic and political geography, map work and geographic information system (GIS), and fieldwork.

In the Secondary PGCE course, students are required to carry out three placements in two different age groups - ensuring they receive a broad range of experiences. Two placements must be undertaken in a school setting but the third can be taken in a different setting - allowing students to sample teaching in an alternative environment.
