We are delighted to announce an exciting new partnership with Bishop Grosseteste University (BGU), Lincoln, for the delivery of our Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) programme starting in September 2024.
BGU is a distinguished institution with a rich history of delivering high-quality education. Through this collaboration, Diverse Association trainees will have the opportunity to earn a bachelor’s degree from BGU while engaging in school-centred training.
This integrated approach to teacher training, combining in-school experience with university-based education, enables trainees to gain a comprehensive understanding of all facets of teaching. Trainees typically spend one day at the university and four days in schools.
“We are thrilled to announce our new partnership with Bishop Grosseteste University, a collaboration that promises to further enrich the training opportunities that we offer. This partnership aligns perfectly with our commitment to providing high-quality education and professional development for our teachers; by working together, we aim to create innovative learning experiences and support the next generation of educators in their journey to excellence.”
