APPLYING FOR A PGCE COURSE

Applications for all PGCE courses should be made through the DfE Apply System. Entry requirements can be found on each course page.

There are two kinds of PGCE you can study with us:

  • School Direct - where you are based at a school
  • Standard PGCE - where you are based at university and go to school on placement.

The application cycle will open in October each year and will be available for a minimum of two weeks. To guarantee consideration, you must submit your application within the first two weeks. 

Applications will no longer be considered when courses become full but may re-open if vacancies arise.
