From lesson plans to the learning environment, the PGCE Secondary - History supports you to become a confident and innovative early career teacher who can inspire pupils to engage with the past and appreciate its relevance to the present.


Offering a mix of academic and practical learning and visits to historic sites, the course introduces you to the range and scope of history as a curriculum subject across the 11-16 age range. The programme aims to develop your subject knowledge and pedagogical skills as you examine the techniques used to bring the study of history to life in a classroom environment.


Successful completion of the PGCE leads to a Postgraduate Certificate in Education awarded by Durham University and the recommendation for Qualified Teacher Status. The QTS element is accredited by Newcastle University and awarded by the Department of Education.


We pride ourselves on offering a well-planned blend of research and experience in the classroom to start you on your successful career as an Early Career Teacher. We emphasise your entitlement to the Core Content Framework throughout our PGCE course to fully prepare you for the Early Career Framework, which will support you during your first two years of teaching as an Early Career Teacher.


Please note that the course does not run to standard University terms. It is delivered full-time, starting in early September and continues over 10 months.
