I have definitely got high standards from this course. There is always really productive feedback and there’s so much knowledge amongst the lecturers and so much experience of actual primary school teaching that I have so many ideas of what could be, which is really good because you are constantly required to reflect on your teaching practice.
Katie, PGCE Primary 5-11
This course especially is varying in ages, in people coming from different countries. It’s a great learning experience, not just of your course but of cultures and of other peoples’ ideas. We use our differences to help each other – it’s a very collaborative process.
Aimee, MSc Cyber Security
I really love the course and if I could go back and start again, I don’t think I would do anything differently. It’s potentially opened a lot of new doors for me as well career-wise, so I think the option of doing a PhD here afterwards is something that could be on the horizon for me.
Zoe, MRes Health Science
The student experience is at the heart of what we do at Winchester. Our teaching practices establish a strong link between theory and practice, so that students can apply what they learn in a real-world context.
Lim Teoh, Senior Lecturer in Accounting and Taxation and National Teaching Fellow
The knowledge and expertise of the academic staff in the Institute of Education is unrivalled. There is so much experience and a passion for teaching that we pass on to our students. Our PGCE graduates are in such high demand, many move straight into teaching positions in one of the schools where they completed a placement.
Laura Clarke, Director of the Institute of Education
What our students tend to have in common is that they want to make a difference. They have a sense of obligation to other people and a sense of commitment to society. We have such a variety of people who come on the course from the UK, Europe and outside of Europe and they are from a range of ages and backgrounds and this brings a real richness to the course.
Richard Murphy, Programme Lead MSc Social Work
I did my course part-time over two years so I could work while I studied which was really beneficial. The course was pivotal for me because as well as securing my job in arts management, I also now teach at the University too.
Flis, Cultural Development Manager at Hampshire Cultural Trust
The MA programme was a lifeline for me and a way to progress my career in humanitarian work. I have been able to apply the skills I learned on the MA, such as consultancy and proposal writing, which led to supervising others in my organisation and then securing a promotion quite quickly.
Mohammed, Head of Programmes, Bahar Organisation
Winchester has huge sustainability goals and during my course, I selected all my topics and assignments to be around things like zero waste and corporate greenwashing. Right after I finished my dissertation, I got my job in communications here at Minerva. We are a sustainability-focused company with particular expertise in research and science communications. It’s perfect for me to utilise my interests and studies.
Vaishnavi, graduate of MSc Digital Marketing and Analytics, Account Manager, Minerva Communications
