Placements
Placements enable you to develop the skills and knowledge valued and desired by employers - you will build your confidence in the classroom and gain practical teaching experience. Placements also provide you with the opportunity to connect with potential employers and build your professional network.
You will have plenty of opportunities throughout your Primary PGCE to apply your developing skills to real-life settings. We have strong partnerships with over 300 local schools and are renowned for our relationships with these partner schools.
It is a testament to the strength of our partnerships and the regard in which our graduates are held, that most schools in Berkshire employ at least one graduate of the Institute of Education.
The University of Reading is engaged in benefiting commerce and industry by contributing to the knowledge economy through the sharing of expertise and resources; Black Box is one of many enterprises supporting this connection between industry and academic research.
Academic staff are encouraged to commercialise research output through the formation of spin-out companies; this is how Black Box training was created.
Black box methodologies have been part of the department's degree courses for over 30 years. In 2006, staff from the Department of Film, Theatre & Television worked with some of the department's alumni, now working in a range of relevant professions, to develop Black Box as a training workshop with applications for business and the public sector.
