Develop a toolkit of knowledge and skills, and benefit from tutors with international reputations on one of the best modern language courses in the country.
This Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) Secondary Modern Foreign Language course leads to the award of Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), qualifying you to teach the 11-18 age group in secondary schools in England and Wales.
The programme has consistently been judged as excellent in both internal and external reviews, and is widely acknowledged as one of the best modern foreign language courses in the country.
This University of Reading programme is underpinned by the research of tutors who teach on it, which has been recognised for its high quality and impact in the latest Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2021.
You will specialise in teaching one main language (either French, German or Spanish) but we strongly encourage all trainees to teach another language to at least beginner level.
