"summary": "The Professional Graduate Diploma in Education (PGDE) Secondary is for graduates who want to become subject-specialist teachers in the secondary sector. This programme is the Scottish route to qualified teacher status.\n\nThis is an intensive programme of study, divided equally between University-based and school-based activities.\n\nWe designed the programme to prepare you for the range of roles that teachers are expected to play:\n\n\n- A competent, reflective classroom practitioner\n\n\n- A collaborator who contributes to the wider informal curriculum of the school\n\n\n- A subject specialist and a curriculum developer\n\n\n- A teacher in society, whether building strong relationships with parents or contributing to national policy debates\n\n\nYou will develop the capacity to become a transformative teacher, making a positive impact on the outcomes of learners, with the capacity to become a future leader in the profession. To this end, we focus on teaching student teachers to use their powerful subject knowledge to create interesting, relevant and progressive teaching.\n\nWe currently offer our secondary programme in the following subjects:\n\n\n- Art and Design\n\n\n- Biology\n\n\n- Chemistry\n\n\n- Design and Technology\n\n\n- Drama\n\n\n- English\n\n\n- Geography\n\n\n- History\n\n\n- Mathematics\n\n\n- Language Education (Chinese, French, German)\n\n\n- Music\n\n\n- Physical Education\n\n\n- Physics\n\n\n**Dual Qualification status**\n\nDual qualification means that a teacher is qualified to teach two different subject areas within schools, such as Mathematics and Physics.\n\nWe welcome applications for dual subject qualification and can accommodate the following combinations:\n\n\n- Geography and History\n\n\n- Mathematics and Physics\n\n\n- any two science subjects, for example, Physics and Chemistry\n\n\n- and Language Education: Any two from French, German and Chinese, French and Spanish, German and Spanish, Chinese and Spanish, French and Italian, German and Italian\n\n\nNB: Spanish and Italian can only be taken as second subjects.
