This Primary Education (via Independent Distance Learning with QTS) PGCE course offered at University of Sunderland can be studied Distance.
For more detailed information about Primary Education (via Independent Distance Learning with QTS) at University of Sunderland, please visit the institution website.
Our typical offer is 120 UCAS points from a minimum of three A Levels or equivalent (e.g. 1 x AVCE double award) with a minimum GCSE in either French or Spanish. All students must have passes at grade C or above in GCSE Mathematics and English or a recognised equivalent qualification. We will only accept equivalencies from equivalencytesting.com.
In addition to academic qualifications, you must also:
Have an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check
Complete a medical pro forma (based on DFEE Circular 8/92)
Have passed the professional skills tests in numeracy and literacy, set by the Department for Education. This is essential before you can achieve Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). It is helpful if you are able to take the tests before your interview with us, but this is not a requirement of applying for this course.
You will be assessed on your potential to learn and not your experience.
All successful applicants will be invited to an interview. Interviews start early November, so we recommend that you apply as soon as UCAS opens, in October.
Please note, applicants with a foundation degree will need to supplement this qualification with at least 60 credits at level 6 (HE level 3) in order to attain an equivalent single qualification.
