PGCE Secondary Art and Design with Qualified Teacher Status

Become an inspirational and inclusive secondary teacher of Art & Design – developing your subject knowledge, creative skills and professional experience to gain Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). You’ll join our dynamic Sheffield Institute of Education and undertake work-related learning in the community. You'll explore the key aspects of a secondary teacher’s role – including theories of learning, pedagogy, assessment and behaviour management – while engaging with inclusive practices that support positive outcomes for all learners. In addition to your Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE), you’ll graduate with Qualified Teacher Status and 60 Masters-level credits.

An honours degree (normally 2.2 or above) or equivalent which includes substantial elements of art and design study. Normally GCSE grade C or Grade 4 in English Language and mathematics, or equivalent. Where applicants have achieved a GCSE grade 4 or above in English literature only, we will look for further evidence of a breadth of achievement in English. We will consider applicants who are in the process of obtaining the relevant GCSEs.
