PGCE Primary (5-11) Modern Languages

Overview

Qualify as a primary school teacher with a focus on languages

Learn the art of teaching

Our PGCE Primary Teaching with Modern Languages route prepares you to teach across the primary curriculum and develop expertise in teaching modern languages.

You will focus on teaching the primary curriculum and will receive high-quality training in partnership with local schools to build your classroom experience.

After successful completion, you will be recommended for Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) so that you can begin working as a teacher in a primary school.
