Introduction to the PGCE Computer Science Program

The Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) Secondary (Computer Science) course is designed to develop teaching skills and curriculum knowledge in the fields of Computer Science (CS) and Information Technology (IT). This program leads to the award of Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), qualifying students to teach the 11-18 age group in secondary schools in England and Wales.

Program Details

Our PGCE program teaches students how to plan and teach Computing informed by the most up-to-date subject-specific pedagogical approaches and critical reflections on theory and practice in the field. The program offers rich opportunities to work with an experienced and highly-regarded community of subject experts, with many opportunities for community engagement and collaborations with local and national leading expert organisations in the field.

Benefits and Support

• Scholarships of £26,000 and bursaries of £24,000 are available for trainee Computer Science teachers.
• Tuition fee and maintenance loans are also available.
• Almost all of our Computer Science trainees secure their first job before the course finishes.

Program Structure and Outcomes

The program is structured to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of Computer Science and its application in secondary education. Upon completion, students will be qualified to teach Computer Science to students aged 11-18 in secondary schools in England and Wales, and will have developed the skills and knowledge necessary to become inspiring Computing Teachers.
