Pathways into Teaching: A PGCE Information Open Event

Event Overview

Join us for an informative online session designed for anyone considering a career in primary education. This free event offers a welcoming introduction to the University of Cumbria's London Campus and our highly regarded PGCE Primary programme.

During the session, we will:

• Introduce the University of Cumbria in London — who we are, where we are based, and what makes our London Campus a great place to train
• Outline the PGCE Primary course structure — what the programme involves, how it is taught, and what trainees can expect from day one
• Explore the support available — from academic tutors to wellbeing resources, we will explain how we help trainees thrive throughout their training year
• Share the London school experience — hear about the rich and diverse placement opportunities available across London schools
• Discuss employability and career pathways — find out where our graduates go after qualification and how we support your transition into teaching
• Highlight the skills and qualities that matter — understand what helps trainees succeed on the course and in the classroom
• Offer practical application tips — guidance on how to prepare a strong application and what to expect from the selection process
• Open Q&A with our PGCE Lead for London — your chance to ask questions in a relaxed, informal setting

Whether you are just starting to explore teacher training or are ready to apply, this session is the perfect first step.
