School

I want to be an English or a Media teacher at Secondary school but I don’t know what I need to do at University to do that. Can anyone help?

So long as you have an A level in English and/or Media Studies, you can do what you want at university. Sure, an English degree is the obvious decision, but you don’t have to; I have a friend who is a Religious Studies teacher, and he didn’t do that at uni, he did politics.

Once you’ve got a degree in whichever subject you choose, you either need to do a PGCE course, which normally lasts one year and gives you Qualified Teacher Status, or you can join the Graduate Teacher Programme, where you start teaching straight away and get training as you work.

Hope this helps

   Do Media Studies or English, then top up with a PGCE when you’re finished.
