Basically, i'm at the point where i need to start thinking about what i want to do at university. I know that in september 2010, I'll be going to a local university, probs newcastle or northumbria or sunderland, to get a biology degree.
After that, I want to do a PGCE course so i can teach secondary school (and sixth form) biology. But theres so many different kinds of PGCE courses available, i dont know whats what?
Can anyone help?
after youve done a degree, you can go to whatever uni you want to do the pgce as far as im aware. what specifically do you need help with?
I don't think you should be too worried about your postgrad course as lets face it, it's basically 5 years away atm and although that may be what you defo want to do - it's pretty likely the sort of courses available will change in the years so I wouldn't get myself bogged down on it...
Just get through uni first because in your course you may find you don't want to teach :D
id scream if i changed my mind :P ive wanted to be a teacher since the age of 11 lolQuote:

Trust me Steph don't start thinking about your teaching course just now :P
Like you I wanted to be a teacher from about 10 but now I don't wanna be lol. Concentrate on the degree first and worry about the qualification later as it is really just an add-on as the degree will help you get a job if teaching doesn't work out.
Good luck :)Quote:

Good luck at whatever you choose to do Steph :P After the summer I'm heading into Primary schools to "observe" :$
I've also heard some great things about the PGCE at Durham.
