Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Business Computer Systems] From University of Brighton

TheÊPrimary Education (PGCE Advanced) General Primary or Early Years programme offered by the University of Birmingham is designed to enable you to become a reflective, confident practitioner having acquired a range of skills and expertise.

Like a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) the Postgraduate Diploma in Primary EducationÊis a teacher training programme leading to Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) but it also offers the equivalent of 120 credits and these may be used towards ourÊMA in Teaching Studies. Additionally, the School also offers a number of specialisedÊProfessional DevelopmentÊprogrammes which will enable you to further develop your career.

The primary programmes meet all aspects of government requirements for Initial Teacher Training. We are able to offer applicants a choice of two routes into teaching, so that you can prepare as a teacher across the full 5Ð11 age range or specialise instead in early years teaching (3Ð7 age range). Both programmes last for 38 weeks; the equivalent of 19 of which will be spent in schools.

Careers

The Primary and Early Years course works closely with the University careers service and local councils in order to provide you with support for the job application process. Our success rate for student completion of our courses and subsequent employment in schools has remained consistently high.Ê

The vast majority of our students gain employment in the local region, many of them choosing to remain in partnership schools.
