Why study your course? And why at Edge Hill? The PGCE Psychology is an excellent course to study; it has provided me with the chance to learn both about the curriculum and myself. Edge Hill is one of the only universities to offer this and I am so thankful that they do. What’s special about your course? The one thing that makes my course so special is the dedication that many of the staff in the department show, the support is nothing short of excellent. Whether we’re out on placements or attending lectures at Edge Hill they are always available to talk to.

Where can you go/ what can you do with your course? When I complete the course I can teach in any secondary school or college. However because of the cross curricular links that Psychology has I can also teach a number of different subjects such as Child Development, Health and Social Care and Sports Psychology.
