General requirements

To apply, you'll need at least a second class honours degree (usually a 2:2) or equivalent.

You should also have experience working in education. This could be as a teacher or in another role in the sector. A recognised teaching qualification is helpful but not required.

If you've already studied at master’s level, for example through a PGCE or PCET award, you may be able to use some of those credits. These must be less than five years old and show that you've met the required learning outcomes.

If English isn't your first language, you need an IELTS (or equivalent) score of at least 6.0. You must show this before we can consider your application or make an offer.
