PGCE Art and Design

UCL (University College London)

The Art and Design PGCE is a challenging and forward-looking course. It prepares you to teach across the 11-16 age range, and to develop your knowledge and understanding of teaching the subject at A level / post 16. The course encourages you to relate art, craft and design education to contemporary art practice. It has a strong reputation for promoting innovation in education theory, practice and policy. This course supports you in becoming confident, creative and critical teachers of art and design. We do this through: Promoting inclusive art and design pedagogies that enable all pupils in the classroom to flourish. Encouraging our students to model thinking through making in the classroom as practising artists, designers, curators and art historians. Interrogating current policy and art and design education practice through different theoretical and pedagogical frameworks.
