*Please note, this event has passed, but check back regularly for new Faculty of Education events or visit the Open Days and Events page<\/a>*<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

On February 1st<\/sup> the Faculty of Education is holding an open day, giving you the opportunity to discover our postgraduate courses that can help you get into teaching. Whether you\u2019re graduating and want to turn your hand to teaching through a PGCE, looking for a change of career or returning to work, our Postgraduate Routes into Teaching open day will provide you with all the next-step info you need. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To give you a flavour of what you can expect on the day, we\u2019ve thought of five reasons why the day isn\u2019t to be missed\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. All our postgraduate routes to teaching presented in one place<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Degree courses can be difficult to imagine until you\u2019re there, in the lecture theatre, engaging with academics and your peers. Forget on and offline prospectuses; at our open day you can get a truer flavour of what each course is like to study through talks, tasters and speaking to the people who will be guiding you on your journey to qualified teacher status<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe talks were really informative and answered most of my questions. For any further questions I had, the stands were very helpful.\u201d<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Meet our team<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Choosing a degree can\nbe as much about the people leading it as it is about course content. Our\nteam<\/a> will be available for you to speak to, ask questions of, and generally\ninterrogate \u2013 in the nicest possible way, of course! We like to think we\u2019re a\nfriendly and welcoming bunch, but why not come and see for yourself? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBefore I went to this open day I was fairly certain that I wanted to do a PGCE, but I still needed some reassurance. My questions were answered with care and consideration, so after the event I was confident in my decision.\u201d<\/em> <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. See our facilities <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The open day takes place in Augustine House<\/a> which recently celebrated its 10th<\/sup> anniversary since opening. Along the way, Augustine House has won a few architecture awards, has enabled us to expand our library, has loads of wi-fi and audio\/visual tech, and the on-site Atrium Caf\u00e9 serves a mean panini. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Visit our student support stands<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

As if the talks and tasters weren\u2019t enough, our student support team will have a range of stands. Some represent specific courses<\/a> \u2013 such as the ever-popular PGCE Primary, 7-14 and Secondary options \u2013 and others provide more general information such as admissions, bursaries and general enquiries. The team can answer your questions and help make the next steps of becoming a CCCU student a doddle! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI found the stands to be full of interesting, relevant information, plus the people approachable and well informed. I learned so much from talking to them!\u201d<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Take the opportunity to look around Canterbury<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re really proud of our\nplace in one of the UK\u2019s most historically important cities, and would encourage\nyou to also take the opportunity to explore Canterbury and immerse\nyourself in student life<\/a>. Right next to the main Christ Church campus is St\nAugustine\u2019s Abbey. Across the road from Augustine House are the Roman city walls\nand Dane John park. Obviously there\u2019s the cathedral, or you could explore the\nplethora of narrow, cobbled streets, timber frame buildings, and \u2013 of course \u2013\namazing retail, pubs and restaurants! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s so much more besides, so hit the button below and book your place \u2013 for free! We look forward to meeting you on February 1st<\/sup>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
