Since September 1998 the University has offered an additional element to the PGCE Secondary Modern Foreign Languages course in partnership with the Université du Littoral in Boulogne-sur- Mer, France. Within an academic year students are able to obtain two postgraduate qualifications: the Post Graduate Certificate in Education and the Masters 1.
Both institutions are keen to establish cross-border links within the EU and consider the development of the programme as mutually beneficial.
The programme runs separately from the main PGCE programme, but students fulfil all the requirements of the PGCE course. In addition, during a four-month period in France, students complete an intensive Masters 1 programme. The format of the course is:
- beginning of September/October: A five-week induction period to PGCE at Canterbury Christ Church University and in schools
- October to the end of January: A 15-week block at Université du Littoral following Masters 1 intensive programme
- February to July: 21-week block in UK, mostly on school practice
There is a certain amount of integration of course content and certain aspects of assessed work are presented for both qualifications. However, the two qualifications are monitored and assessed separately. Canterbury Christ Church University is responsible for the delivery, assessment, award of qualification and quality of the PGCE component; the Université du Littoral is responsible in the same way for the Masters 1 component.
Prospective candidates should note that given the very demanding nature of this programme a first class or upper second honours degree in French is an entry requirement for UK graduates. French nationals should have either a Licence de Lettres, Licence de Langues, Licence de Science du Language with a ‘mention FLE’ or equivalent. For French students experience as an assistant(e) in a British school is desirable.
How to Apply
Applications for the full-time PGCE 7-14 and 11-18 are made electronically via the Graduate Teacher Training Registry (GTTR) www.gttr.ac.uk
There is no general closing date, but each programme or subject pathway is closed when it becomes fully subscribed. Early application is strongly advised, both because some subject programmes fill quickly, and because it will help you to plan for your PGCE course if you can get early confirmation of a place.
