Graduate destinations
Career destinations for our graduates include counsellors, education advisers, language tutors, primary/secondary teachers and vocational/industrial trainers and instructors.
A number of our graduates are already in employment while undertaking part-time study for professional development in their chosen career.
The PGCEi provides a great foundation for further study options. If you complete the course with marks of 50% or higher for a module will result in masters credit which gives the possibility of 60 credits towards an MA Education or MA Education (flexible) - 180 credits are needed for the MA.
A maximum of 30 credits can be used towards the MA Educational Leadership and Management and MA Special and Inclusive Education courses.
We offer full-time, part-time and online study routes for the MA programmes.
For those who are interested in doctoral study, we have an MPhil/PhD. However, credit from the PGCEi cannot be used towards this programme.
