PGCE Primary Education Postgraduate Certificate of Education (PGCE)

Ulster University

This course leads to qualified teaching status within primary schools, and the Religious Certificate is recognised by all four churches within Northern Ireland. The course prepares you to teach a full range of pupils in primary school. The central purpose of the course is to help develop teaching competence and this is reflected in the teaching and learning methods employed. In the university-based work, these often take the form of workshop activities, although a variety of lectures, tutorials, peer tutoring and computer assisted learning will also be used. Assessment is through satisfactory performance in course work and school experience.
