Course overview In this course you empower your teaching journey with our specialist programme. Gain exceptional training and support to inspire young minds in the 3-11 age range, through close partnerships with schools. Our PGCE Primary (QTS) programme ensures your professional growth, guiding you to make informed teaching decisions. Complete the course to pursue a part-time Masters in Teaching Studies. Once you have enrolled on the PGCE primary course, you can opt to specialise in working with 3-7 year olds or 5-11 year olds or 7-11 year olds. Students on the 3-7 specialism will undertake two placements, in the Early Years Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1. Students on the 5-11 specialism will undertake two placements, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2. Students on the 7-11 specialism will undertake two placements, Lower Key Stage 2 and Upper Key Stage 2.
To apply for the PGCE Primary (QTS), you must hold a degree from a UK Higher Education Institution, normally with a minimum classification of 2:2. If your degree has not yet been awarded, this will be a condition of any offer. You must also have GCSEs in Mathematics, English, and Science at Grade 4/C or above, or equivalent qualifications; if not already achieved, this will be a condition of any offer, and only equivalency tests from approved equivalency testing providers will be accepted. In addition, you must complete an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check before taking up a place on the course, undergo relevant checks to confirm your health and physical capacity to teach, and agree to abide by the University of Birmingham Code of Professional Conduct and Fitness to Practise.
