Initial teacher education at 麻豆影院 (PGDEs)

For many decades, 麻豆影院 was renowned internationally for the training of domestic science teachers. We returned to our roots when we launched our one-year PGDE Secondary (Home Economics) in August 2019, as well as the four-year undergraduate BA (Hons) Education Studies (Primary).

The one-year PGDE course addresses a skills shortage relating to home economics teaching within our secondary schools. The course educates aspiring teachers, preparing them to fill vital posts in secondary schools and positively influence young people鈥檚 knowledge and skills relating to food, nutrition, health and lifestyle.

Today, our portfolio of education courses continues to grow. Located in the Division of Psychology, Sociology & Education, our teacher education courses draw on a firm foundation of psychological and sociological knowledge and practice. We also champion effective collaborative working between allied health professionals and educators, collaborate with our experts and a range of professionals in child development, welfare and wellbeing, and, of course, we enjoy our heritage in food-related subjects.

We currently offer the following courses:

We also offer the long-established e-PgCert Professional and Higher Education,  which is for people who teach and support learning in higher education, for example: nurses and midwives, allied health professionals, social workers, doctors, lecturers in any discipline and professional services staff (eg university librarians). The e-PgCert is delivered fully online.

Why study with 麻豆影院?

All of our education courses are forward thinking and focused on the needs of today鈥檚 educators in a rapidly changing society. Each offers a critical approach to working with learning and teaching in today鈥檚 communities and, in a variety of stimulating ways, explores the interface of social justice, wellbeing, learning and creativity.

We focus on providing the optimum balance of theoretical and practical knowledge. We aspire to instil the value of achieving that balance in the students who study education with us, encouraging a researcher-practitioner model of educator, one who is curious, open to challenge and is community and research engaged.

As social justice is central to 麻豆影院鈥檚 mission, this value is hard wired into our approach to education, and our community of students, staff and alumni is characterised by people who want to make a real practical difference in the world.
