Course overview
There is nothing to match the thrill of working with bright, passionate and committed teachers as they begin their careers and I am honoured to lead the PGCE History course here at the University of Manchester.
Over the past 4 years I've had the pleasure of working with an incredibly diverse range of providers, including some of the best History teachers in the North West, to create a vibrant and stimulating PGCE programme. We are proud of our outstanding outcomes for employment and are committed to providing schools with knowledgeable, critically reflective and well-trained History teachers. We look forward to working with you.

Policy on additional costs
All students should normally be able to complete their programme of study without incurring additional study costs over and above the tuition fee for that programme. Any unavoidable additional compulsory costs totalling more than 1% of the annual home undergraduate fee per annum, regardless of whether the programme in question is undergraduate or postgraduate taught, will be made clear to you at the point of application. Further information can be found in the University's Policy on additional costs incurred by students on undergraduate and postgraduate taught programmes (PDF document, 91KB).
