Subject Knowledge Enhancement Courses

Four students sat round a desk participate in a seminar.Edge Hill University offers a number of free Subject Knowledge Enhancement (SKE) courses for Secondary PGCE applicants.

If you have applied to study a Secondary PGCE in Biology, Computer Science, English, Geography, Mathematics or Religious Education at a Higher Education provider in England and require enhancement of your subject knowledge, then we have the right course for you.

Successful completion of an SKE course may form part of the conditions of an offer of a place on a Secondary PGCE. The SKE programmes identify areas for development and provide a range of opportunities for additional study tailored to your individual needs.

For Biology, Computer Science, Geography and Mathematics, the course structure and length of study is flexible and varies from 8-28 weeks depending on your individual subject knowledge requirements. Each two-week unit typically entails 50 hours of learning time, with a blend of face-to-face sessions, online learning and supported self-study. For English and Religious Education, the course is eight weeks for all students.
