Hollie Wilkinson
PGCE Primary Mathematics Specialist with QTS
I thoroughly enjoyed my three-year BSc (Hons) degree in Psychology. The tutors were all fantastic, with a wide variety of module options allowing me to broaden my knowledge in the third year.

“In terms of my PGCE, I’ve been equally as impressed with the standard of teaching and variety of topics taught. I’ve also had plenty of opportunities to gain real world experience in a range of school settings, including special educational needs, secondary schools, key stages 1 and 2.
“Completing a PGCE after my BSc was always my plan, and after three incredible years at Edge Hill there was nowhere else I’d rather complete my postgraduate year.”
What’s more, Hollie, from the Wirral, hopes to start her Early Career Teacher year in September with a class of her own, the hard work starting to pay off.
“A PGCE involves an extremely intensive year, but if you’re passionate and committed, it’s a fantastic course. I’d advise other students to work hard to achieve what you can in your undergraduate degree and gain experience in your postgraduate area as you go. And best of luck!”
