We're revising this course for this year of entry and are in the process of confirming the structure and the qualification awarded. The information on this page gives you an idea of the areas that the course covers at present. There may be changes before you start. From May of the year of entry, formal programme regulations will be available in our Programme Regulations Finder. Any revisions to the course will still meet QTS requirements.
Our graduates make great teachers. It's that simple. The Initial Teacher Education (ITE) course helps you develop an understanding of research, policies and practice relating to education in general and secondary education in particular. You'll analyse and reflect on what you learn to connect research with the classroom.
We teach an approach to your work that will stay with you throughout your career. Our graduates are dedicated to lifelong learning, developing their professional practice, and using classroom-based research. You'll learn everything the qualified teacher needs to know about planning, teaching, learning, assessing, policies and processes.
Routes offeredWe offer a provider-led route plus two routes in partnership with local schools (The University of Sheffield in partnership with Sheffield Teacher Training Alliance and The University of Sheffield in partnership with Ashfield School).
The main differences for the two additional routes are:
These two routes run alongside the provider-led PGDE and lead to the same qualification.
The University of Sheffield oversees these routes.
