About the course

The Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) Primary (5-11) is a one-year course that leads to Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). You'll train to become a Primary teacher for the age range 5-11. You'll gain 60 academic credits at master's level as part of the course.

Teaching is both a challenging and rewarding career with a high level of job satisfaction. It is a great privilege, as well as a great responsibility, to be one of the first teachers to influence a child. We focus on supporting our trainee teachers to thrive, and we do this alongside teachers and mentors in school. We also facilitate you to collaborate with your peers, and to graduate with a ready-made, supportive professional network.

Entry Requirements

You should typically meet the following criteria:

An undergraduate honours degree, or a recognised equivalent qualification at 2:2 or above.
GCSE grade C/4 in English, Mathematics and Science, or equivalent. Candidates with pending GCSEs will be considered. We'll consider candidates who need to take a GCSE equivalency test.

Our PGCE courses include a high level of placement-based learning and working with children. We would encourage all applicants to get as much relevant experience of working or volunteering with children to help prepare them for this crucial element of their course.
