About Postgraduate Certificate in Education (International) PGCEi, PGCE - at University of Nottingham

Our unique course provides advanced study for educators working outside the UK. It is a Level 7 qualification on the UK National Qualifications Framework and carries 60 CATS points.

Through critical reflection and research, you will gain the core skills and knowledge to improve your teaching practice. You will compare teaching approaches in different countries and examine your education system from an international perspective. It does not matter what age or subject you teach – the PGCEi is relevant to all curricula and phases.

Offered in multiple locations, you can choose to study with a cohort from a country that suits you. This is a blended course where study takes place online with individual tutor support. You will be invited to a face-to-face induction in your cohort location. Please note that due to the current travel restrictions following the outbreak of COVID-19, our in-country face-to-face induction sessions will now be held online until further notice. This alternative induction will have the same content as before, where you will have the opportunity to speak with your tutors and successfully launch your PGCEi journey. You will then complete your studies online with individual tutor support.

Please note: the PGCEi is an academic qualification, not a teaching qualification. It therefore does not offer Qualified Teacher Status in the UK.
