Course summary

Our one-year Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) prepares you to teach the secondary school music curriculum for the 11-16 age range. This is a practical course where you will be immersed in music making, teaching and encouraged to use and develop your musical skills. Youll be taught through practical sessions, and you will consider topics which support musical learning, using acoustic and IT instruments to develop your subject knowledge. Youll explore immersive ways to teach music and how to encourage your pupils to engage with musical experiences. We have a partnership with the Royal Northern College of Music (RNCM) and have some co-delivery with colleagues from RNCM. To help you explore how trips can benefit your students, youll typically be encouraged to visit a variety of musical venues across Manchester. This includes theatre schools and music organisations with outreach programmes. When youre at Manchester Met, youll mainly study with your PGCE music group. They are one of your greatest learning resources. Youll consider how to plan lessons, reflect on your planning, learn how research can develop your teaching practice, and look at ways to develop your teacher persona. Youll also learn through peer collaboration, sharing knowledge with your fellow music trainees.

Career prospects

Most of our graduates go on to work as music teachers in secondary schools.

The PGCE programme provides you with 60 masters level credits when you graduate. You could put these towards a masters degree to help you develop your career in the field of education.
