Course Overview

Welcome to the Swansea University Schools' Partnership.

SUSP is committed to delivering high quality initial teacher education that meets the needs of a Welsh education system undergoing significant curriculum transformation.

The one year full-time Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) Primary with Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) offered by the Swansea University Schools' Partnership (SUSP) connects research and policy to primary practice.

Our PGCE Primary programme will allow you to develop teaching skills across the primary age phase and develop your understanding of the new curriculum in Wales. You will work with experienced, enthusiastic University tutors and mentors in our Partnership schools across South Wales to develop and reflect upon your own teaching practice.

The programme is unique in that after experiencing teaching placements across the primary age phase, you can chose to specialise in Foundation Phase, Key Stage 2, ALN (special school) or All-Age (3-18) contexts. This will not only enhance your knowledge of teaching and the curriculum in your specialist phase, but also deepen your understanding of how children learn and develop.

All aspects of the SUSP programme are underpinned by research, allowing you to benefit from the University's national and international reputation.

With the Partnership’s strong commitment to wellbeing, you will experience high quality personal, professional and academic support throughout the year.

Why Primary With QTS At Swansea?

The Swansea University Schools’ Partnership (SUSP) draws upon the University’s considerable academic expertise in supporting the development of effective primary teachers. SUSP provides high-quality ITE based on the principle of integrated learning.

This means that all aspects of the course have been developed collaboratively by a partnership of experienced and enthusiastic university and school-based staff. The programme is delivered, quality assured and reviewed as a partnership to consolidate that collaboration throughout the year. 

Swansea University Schools’ Partnership (SUSP) delivers a high-quality, research and practice integrated programme premised on its vision of developing research-informed reflective practitioners who can contribute significantly to the quality of Welsh education.

The PGCE (Primary) programme is delivered by the Swansea University Schools Partnership (SUSP) which comprises Swansea University and Lead and Network Partnership Schools located across south Wales. The university and schools share accountability for all aspects of programme governance, design, delivery and evaluation. In addition, the Academy Hywel Tyfi provides 35 hours of Welsh Language tuition for all student teachers on the programme.

The programme comprises 3 modules:

The Exploring Pedagogy, Curriculum and Assessment in the Primary School module (EDPM31) develops student teacher’s understanding of, and ability to employ effective strategies for teaching, learning and assessment across the primary age phase.

The Research-informed Reflective Practice module (EDPM32) introduces primary student teachers to quantitative, qualitative and mixed method approaches to education research.

The Professional Practice and Placement module (EDP301) is designed to enable primary student teachers to work in a school ‘clinical practice’ setting and to work towards the Professional Standards for Teaching and Leadership at Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) level. It is primarily school based and comprises two block-teaching placements and the Practice and Theory (PAT) days.
