Postgraduate Certificate in Education (Geography) PGCE

at King's College London

Required modules

You are required to take the following modules:

• Professional Practice in Education (45 credits)

• School Data (15 credits)

• Studying Policy & Professional Practice (30 credits)

• Focused Pedagogical Studies (30 credits)

Standard requirements

A minimum 2:2 undergraduate degree with a final mark of at least 50% or above.

f you have a lower degree classification, or a degree in an unrelated subject, your application may be considered if you can demonstrate significant relevant work experience, or offer a related graduate qualification (such as a Masters or PGDip).

Other requirements

Our PGCE programmes all require a minimum of:

• Bachelor's degree with at least 2:2 honours usually in the subject you wish to teach.

• Knowledge and understanding of the subject you intend to teach.

• GCSE grade C or above (or an equivalent qualification) in English language and mathematics. Applicants without these English or mathematics qualifications at the time they apply may be considered, but they must obtain them, or pass an equivalent test approved by King's, before the course starts.

Regarding your educational background, if your academic documents are issued in a language other than English, we will ask you to submit both the originals and the official translations. We will not usually need to see official translations unless you have been successful in gaining an offer for the course. You may also be asked to show that your overseas qualifications are recognised through the UK European Network of Information Centres (ENIC) and therefore meet our entry requirements.
