Course content

PGCE Secondary (Mathematics) will train you to teach mathematics across the 11 to 16 or 11 to 18 age range.

It will prepare you to teach the National Curriculum, GCSE and A-level.

Completion leads to a postgraduate qualification and recommendation for qualified teacher status (QTS).

University-based sessions will enable you to reflect on teaching methods, education theories, ideas and concepts, and will enhance your awareness of current educational issues and developments.

The University works with a large variety of schools, comprehensives, grammar schools, specials schools, pupil referral units and sixth-form colleges, which allows us to personalise your school experience to your individual needs.

Mathematics is an exciting and creative subject, and you will construct your own understandings through working collaboratively on engaging, challenging tasks and reflecting on your experiences.
