Other requirements

General requirements

We usually require at least a second-class honours degree (usually a 2:1) or equivalent.
You should also have experience of working in education; this may be as a teacher or in another capacity in the field of education. A recognised teaching qualification is an advantage, but not an essential requirement for this course.
If you've studied modules at master's level previously, for example through a PGCE or PCET award, you may be able to transfer some of these credits to the course. The credits must be less than five years old and must demonstrate that you've met a range of learning outcomes in order to be transferred.
