Course Description

Gain early years experience and knowledge, benefit from our outstanding facilities and well-managed placements, and qualify as an early years teacher with our PGCE Primary Education with Early Years.

Our Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) Primary Early Years pathway leads to the award of Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), giving you the experience, the opportunity, and the knowledge to work in both Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) settings and infant/primary school settings.

The EYFS is a unique phase of education which involves learning through play and first-hand experiences both inside and outdoors. This phase leads into Key Stage 1, where children really start to engage with learning to read, applying their mathematical knowledge, and making sense of how the world works.

Entry Requirements

You are normally required to have at least a 2:2 honours degree, or equivalent from a university outside the UK.
