PGCE with QTS Primary (5-11)

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.

All our courses are future-facing and underpinned by a strong values base. Our provision directly addresses education for sustainable futures. We equip you to be able to work thoughtfully, creatively and successfully with your learners. At UWE Bristol, we're committed to training reflective, innovative, and adaptable teachers for the future.

As time spent on campus is limited, many students choose to commute from further afield.

You should typically meet the following criteria:

• An undergraduate 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. We do not accept Level 2 Key Skills, Functional Skills or Certificates in Adult Numeracy and Literacy as alternatives to GCSEs. Where applicants have achieved a GCSE grade 4 or above in English Literature only, we'll look for further evidence of achievement in English.
