Can you still do a PGCE (PCET) if you have a combined honours degree?Hey I'm planning to do a combined degree of Business and Media (Dual)
One of my prospects is to teach Media at further education..
Would I be considered/accepted on the PGCE course for further education if I held a degree where Media is half of the qualification?
Thanks

Re: Can you still do a PGCE (PCET) if you have a combined honours degree?I don't know about the situation for Further Education, but for a standard PGCE, absolutely (and I don't see why it would be different for FE).
The guidelines are that 50% of your degree should be in the subject you want to teach.
I have a degree in French and History, and have been offered a place on a Secondary French PGCE. -

Re: Can you still do a PGCE (PCET) if you have a combined honours degree?Normally you need to have studied a degree where at least 50% of the course was in the subject you'd like to teach, and your course sounds perfectly fine. Check with admissions just to make sure though.

Re: Can you still do a PGCE (PCET) if you have a combined honours degree?Yeh that's fine. I'm just finishing my PGCE PCET and there are people on my course with joint honours. It's actually an advantage in FE as they prefer you to be flexible in what you teach, although your placement while doing the PGCE would likely just be in one subject due to mentor and scheduling issues. However, this would not prevent you from teaching the other subject in a college as well / instead, once you qualify.
