Secondary Teaching leading to Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) PGCE: Entry requirements

Typical offer:

• A 2:2 honours degree relevant to your subject specialism (at least 50% of the degree content needs to be relevant to your chosen specialism).
• GCSE (A–C): English Language and Mathematics.
• Proficiency in French, Spanish or German if applying for the modern languages specialism. We particularly welcome those who are able to offer a second potential teaching language. However, we give careful consideration to all applications and, very occasionally, accept applicants for the modern languages specialism with only one language.
