How to Apply
Applicants should normally possess a good honours degree. In some cases an honours degree below a Lower Second class may be considered if the applicant also has a Master’s qualification. Some of the content of the degree should be relevant to the subject specialism to be taken on the programme. Applicants with degrees in Psychology who intend to qualify as Educational Psychologists are also welcome.
All candidates must possess GCSEs (grade C or above) in English Language, Mathematics and Science before the PGCE course begins, or equivalents acceptable to the University.
If you are in doubt about your qualifications contact the Postgraduate Admissions Office at the University.
To be selected for interview applicants must have a positive reference (and if relevant a degree prediction). Applicants must also be able to demonstrate recent experience in a mainstream school and be able to analyse this in the personal statement of the application form. In selecting people for interview the University will also look at the applicant’s breadth of education qualifications. It is important to submit an accurate and well presented application.
Offers of a place are only made after an interview. Those selected will be advised of the format of the interview beforehand. The decision whether to offer a place is based on whether the applicant meets the following five criteria:
- a lively, enthusiastic personality
- able to analyse recent primary experience and articulate it
- relates well to the rest of the (interview) group
- has a good depth of subject knowledge especially in the potential specialist area
Candidates will also be required to successfully undertake two short assessments in numeracy and literacy skills.
