I will be doing a PGDE in Secondary Education at University of Glasgow in August and I was wondering if anyone had any advice on how best to prepare for the course and what to expect?
I know it's a very demanding course and would like to prepare as much as possible before the course starts. Thank you!

hi, are you going to University of Aberdeen for PGDE Secondary Spanish ? I am doing that one. I don't have French though and that is one of my worries, as I Know a lot of ML teachers have both... do you think I would be OK as a teacher who can only offer one of the 2 ? thanks !

Hi, no I'm going to Glasgow. As far as I know it gives you an advantage the more you have but I don't think it is something you should worry about because when you go for an interview they will look at your experience and teaching skills. I just happened to do both at uni. Worst case scenario you could start studying another language once you've mastered one the others are a piece of cake.

thank you very much for taking the time to reply. Do you know if it is quite common for ML teachers to have both though ? that is what I am starting to think that I might be one of few with just one

Honestly I'm not sure, I've been out of Scotland for 7 years but if the uni accepted you then surely it's because it's ok. Also I think French continues to be the most widely taught mfl at schools, so seriously don't worry.

I'm was thinking there would be quite a lot of people. It might make it a better experience if the there's a smaller team of people. Maybe see you then

Sorry yeah I meant that there's the possibility that less people specialise in spanish as french is more popular. But, as I said I don't know much.

Oh wow, yeah I believe we will be working with a mix of different PGDE students throughout the course.

Hi on the off chance the same applies to you, when you accepted Glasgow did you hear anything? I haven't had an email or confirmation and no word on the pin for the student portal my Glasgow or whatever it's called. Strange, wondered if you'd heard back?

I've not heard anything back about registration. It says online it will be a phased process for registration all before course start date. If I don't hear anything by the end of June, I will probably contact them to check.
