PGCE Secondary Mathematics with Computing

University of East Anglia UEA

If you’re looking for a career where you can inspire, motivate, and make a difference to the lives of young people, teaching is for you. At UEA, we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we’ll support you in exploring a range of pedagogical strategies, so you can meet the needs of your pupils and develop your own teaching style. We’ll help you gain insight into how pupils learn and what motivates them. You’ll understand how pupils engage with Mathematics and Computing and discover how to support their learning effectively. You’ll also develop strategies to make learning these subjects challenging, stimulating, and rewarding. You’ll explore perceptions of Mathematics and focus on what a teacher can do to engage and support students, as well as exploring rich strategies for teaching Mathematics and Computing effectively. We’ll also introduce emerging ideas in Mathematics education, giving you the tools to apply them effectively in the classroom. Our PGCE Secondary Mathematics with Computing programme combines at least 120 days of school-based training with university sessions, gradually increasing your solo teaching hours to build your confidence and help you become a reflective practitioner. You’ll learn how to make Mathematics and Computing lessons inclusive, engaging, and challenging, while exploring the latest research to understand how pupils learn best. This one-year full-time programme equips you with the skills, experience, and knowledge needed to teach Mathematics and Computing to pupils aged 11 to 16, with Sixth Form enhancement—offering the opportunity to develop your post-16 teaching skills if this aligns with your interests. Upon successful completion of your PGCE, you'll graduate with Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and 90 Master’s credits. QTS will qualify you to teach children up to 18 years old.
