Course summary

The post primary PGCE is a one year, full-time programme that prepares students for a career in teaching.

The aim of a PGCE is to prepare the student to become a competent teacher. This is achieved through a variety of teaching and learning methods which are summarised below:

  • Lectures
  • Tutorials : group or individually designed to advise in the preparation for school experience, curriculum projects and/or school based investigations.
  • Workshops and seminars: designed primarily to allow students to examine the relationship between theoretical perspectives introduced in lectures and their main subject specialism. These involving simulations, role-play and other practical activities including field work.
  • School Experience: students have three placements - one week at primary level and 23 weeks in two post-primary schools.

The PGCE course prepares you to teach History in a Post Primary school or college. Successful completion of this course qualifies you to seek registration with the General Teaching Council of Northern Ireland. On the Post-primary strand of the programme the focus is on preparing you to teach 11 to 18 year olds in the formal education sector. However, there may also be opportunities to work in education related fields, including as an education officer in a non government organisation or a museum.
