Degree requirements: You should normally have a lower second-class (2.2) undergraduate honours degree or above. Subject-specific requirements: You will need a strong knowledge and understanding of Mathematics, and a sound awareness of how the subject is currently taught within Secondary state schools, an undergraduate degree in Mathematics. For other Mathematics-related degrees (e.g., Accountancy, Economics, Engineering) you need to demonstrate that at least half of your degree was Mathematics-focused. Such candidates may need to undertake a Subject Knowledge Enhancement (SKE) course before starting the teacher training course. Contact the Course Leader for further advice if you are unsure whether your degree meets the criteria. Your qualification must be from an approved Higher Education institution or validating body, GCSE English, and Mathematics at grade C (or equivalent). You must provide evidence of these qualifications at interview.
