PGCE Secondary French with QTS

Our one-year Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) prepares you to teach across the secondary school French curriculum for the 11-16 age range.

At Manchester Met, youll mainly study with your PGCE French group. We'll teach you in your target language to provide an opportunity for you to practise and develop your language.

Youll consider how to plan lessons, reflect on your planning, learn how research can develop your teaching practice, and look at ways to develop your teacher persona.

Youll spend at least 120 days on placements in a variety of schools, gradually increasing your involvement to become an expert practitioner.

On your placements, youll normally have the opportunity to teach your main language and your second language (subject to your level in your second language, and in full discussion with yourself). We also welcome speakers of heritage / other languages, and we do our utmost to enable speakers of additional languages to have an opportunity to teach these on placement too. Past students have contributed to Urdu, Italian, Japanese and Somali teaching and we are very keen to keep extending the range of languages.

This PGCE is available via University-led and School Direct routes.
