PGCE Citizenship

UCL (University College London)

The Citizenship PGCE offers you the opportunity to learn to teach at the leading edge of Citizenship education for the 11-16 age range, and to develop your knowledge and understanding of teaching a range of associated subjects at A level/post-16. These subjects include government and politics, humanities, economics, media literacy, climate/disaster education, international relations/affairs, peace education, philosophy, social sciences, law, personal development, active citizenship and personal, social, health and economic (PSHE) education. The Citizenship PGCE supports you to teach young people about the knowledge, skills and concepts they need to become a democratic and participatory citizen in society. On the course, you will learn how to teach children and young people about political, legal, economic and media, literacy. You will inspire them to think about the changing world, drawing on perspectives about rights, climate, sustainability, equality, diversity and inclusion. You will also learn how to build criticality in young people so that they can develop clear evidence-based viewpoints bringing in intersectional and diverse ideas.
