Thinking of teaching?
With clear progression options, and the ability to share your knowledge on the subject you love, you can join the most rewarding career of all.
Did听you know, all our undergraduate courses give you the skills needed to complete听a听Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE)?
This听is as you will have already built valuable transferable skills, including:
- communication
- critical thinking
- analysis
- independent research
- constructing logical arguments
- objective thinking听听
If you听don鈥檛 have a specific career in mind, and want to keep your options open,听teaching could be for you.
How do I know if teaching is for听me?
It is helpful to听ask yourself:听
- Do I like young people?
- Am I interested听in making a difference to young people鈥檚 learning?
- What听experience have I had in schools other than my own?
- Am I听prepared to do something in which I am not going to succeed all the time?
- Do I want听to be part of an educational community that is always learning and growing?听

Student stories
Lewis - studied听sports and exercise science at undergraduate level. He is currently completing a Primary听PGCE.
鈥淚鈥檝e always听wanted to go into career where I am giving something back and having an impact听on other people鈥檚 lives. Working with children is also something I have always done through coaching and sport and something I鈥檇 like to continue.鈥

Joe - studied Philosophy, Religion and听Ethics here at Nottingham before starting his teacher training.
鈥淎lthough philosophy and theology don鈥檛 necessarily have direct teaching characteristics associated with it, the transferrable skills such as critical thinking, analysing situations, and being able to conduct a debate have all proved to be an integral skill to be a teacher. These skills were not obvious when I was applying to the course but were distinctive when I began the course and settled into my placements.鈥
