This Teacher Training course allows graduates with an appropriate honours degree to train at postgraduate level to become school teachers in Computer Science. Our course puts learning at the heart of what we do. This means that your learning, as the Associate Teacher, is at the centre of the PGCE just as, when you are teaching, the learning of your school students must be at the centre of your work. The course is distinctive because it involves a mix of university input and school experience every week of the course, close attention to your individual needs and a genuine sense of partnership with the schools that we work with. The PGCE at Staffordshire University offers specialist support and expertise from tutors who are at the forefront of developments in Computer Science. It is characterised by small class sizes allowing effective links with the schools in our partnership. Staffordshire University achieved top marks in the most recent OFSTED inspection. This course, is designed to allow graduates with an appropriate honours degree to train at postgraduate level to become a secondary school Computer Science teacher.
