Secondary Psychology Teacher

Hello,

From what I understand there aren't many courses offering a PGCE in Psychology. However, does it matter what university you choose to go to or do schools not particularly mind what uni you attended as long as you are qualified and a good candidate?

It makes no difference where you do your PGCE. All courses lead to the same qualified teacher status.

Im in a similar boat. Starting bsc psych through open uni and really want to go into teaching or educational psychology xx

I have just completed my Psychology Bsc and I am looking into careers etc. There doesnt seem to be that many universities which do PGCEs that are specialised in psychology, and I'm not sure of how much of a demand there are for psych teachers either

Psychology departments are small - there are only 2 staff in my school of 1400 pupils - and the subject is only taught at A level in the vast majority of places, so you are restricted to schools with sixth forms, and sixth form colleges. In addition, there are many, many psychology graduates around, so the competition is going to be high. However, the places have to be filled, and who is to say you aren't going to be the one to fill one of them?
