The present invention relates to a wireless access system which supports a machine-type communication (MTC), and more specifically, provides a method for repeatedly transmitting a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) for an MTC terminal, and an apparatus for supporting same. The method by which a base station transmits a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) in a wireless access system which supports a machine-type communication (MTC), according to one embodiment of the present invention, comprises the steps of: generating parity bits by encoding control information included in a PDCCH; generating PDCCH encoded bits by performing rate matching on the parity bits; and repeatedly transmitting the PDCCH encoded bits in at least two subframes. The PDCCH may be transmitted for the MTC terminal.
