PGCE Open Day
At our July Open Day, you can discover the PGCE with QTS courses we offer across a range of different ages (Primary Early Years (ages 3-7); Primary (ages 5-11) and Secondary). Lecturers from the School of Education will be available for Q&As to discuss our PGCE provision in detail, and to provide further information about training to teach locally with our Lead Partners (with placements in schools across local counties including Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin).
If you’re thinking of a rewarding career in teaching, we'd love you to come along to learn more! The event is part of our summer Open Day, where you can also find out more about the wider University, take a campus tour, view facilities and speak to staff from a range of support and extra-curricular services.
