Postgraduate Diploma in Education - Secondary Education - English (PGDE)

This University of Dundee course is the first stage students need to complete if they are following the traditional route into secondary education. It covers the Initial Teacher Education phase of the career. When followed by a successful induction year working within a school (Teaching Induction Scheme), students will be qualified to teach English throughout Scotland.

Through two on-campus study modules combined with three school placements, students will gain vital classroom skills and experience. Students will explore aspects of theory for teaching English language and literature to children and young adults. They'll focus on developing learners' reading, writing, listening and talking skills. Dundee will also teach students how to effectively support numeracy, health and well-being.
