An obvious and popular choice with English Literature students is to study for your PGCE (Postgraduate Certificate in Education).
The PGCE differs from Undergraduate teaching courses as it mainly focuses on developing your teaching skills, rather than the subject you intend to teach, and for this reason, applicants are expected to have a good understanding of their chosen subject(s) before training.
PGCE courses are available at Universities and Colleges throughout the UK. This link will take you to an A-Z Index of UK Institutions offering PGCE courses:
The courses usually last for one year full-time, or up to two years part-time and you may be eligible to receive funding while you train for your PGCE. Find out about funding for postgraduate teacher training in England by following this link:
You must have a UK undergraduate degree or a recognised equivalent qualification to study for your PGCE, and you also need a standard equivalent to a grade C in GCSE English and mathematics, and if you want to teach primary or Key Stage 2/3 (ages 7-14), you must also have a standard equivalent to a grade C in Science GCSE.
PGCE applications are made through a system administered by UCAS, and the UCAS Teacher Training website is the portal through which you can search for a provider and make your application.
