Course summary

UCAS Code: 3F4M
PGCE Secondary – Modern Languages with ODA (QTS)
Bring Languages to life for pupils by following our Secondary PGCE Modern Languages with ODA programme. A combination of lectures, seminars and practical experience will provide you with a detailed understanding of how pupils learn and equip you with the skills and knowledge needed to develop as a creative and innovative teacher of International Languages.

Here at Bangor, we will ensure that you have the qualities needed to not only be an outstanding Modern Languages teacher, but also a teacher of Languages, Literacy and Communication, by giving you the opportunity to explore other aspects of the Languages Curriculum, so that you are fully prepared to meet the needs of the new Curriculum for Wales. French and German are the main languages currently taught in secondary schools in North Wales, and some schools offer some Spanish.
Bangor is a fantastic place for anyone interested in outdoor activities. Our location, combined with our long-established links with local outdoor education providers, provides a fantastic opportunity for combining this subject with outdoor activities during your training.

Why Study with us?
• Where better to study for your PGCE Modern Languages with ODA qualification than here in Bangor, where hearing and speaking more than one language are the norm.
• Experienced tutors and researchers will provide you with the skills needed to become the educators of the future. Lead School experiences with well-trained mentors, along with two School Placements will support your development towards Qualified Teacher Status.

• An opportunity to study whilst immersing yourself in Welsh culture and language, here in beautiful North Wales. Professional support for Welsh language learning whether you are a complete beginner or a fluent user of the language.

Be the inspiration for the next generation.

This PGCE with QTS is recognised across Wales and England and is often transferable further afield for entry into the teaching profession. Those seeking to teach outside Wales and England should check recognition and transferability of Qualified Teacher Status with the respective country’s Teachers’ Professional Body.
