What will I learn?

This course gives you the basic requirements for entry into teacher training. You will study two specialist subjects, Human Biology and Psychology, and core subjects Maths, English, IT and Study Skills.

To study for a degree in teaching, you need GCSE Maths, English and Science at pass level or equivalent. The Core Studies programme will be taught as part of this course, which ensures you have Maths and English GCSE qualifications that are needed to progress.

Entry Requirements

GCSE Science at pass level or equivalent (Maths and English can
be achieved on the Access course). You will be asked to attend an interview and undertake a writing task.

Assessment

Students are assessed through a mixture of coursework, essays, projects, presentations and in-class tests. In GCSE English and Mathematics equivalents, there are externally set exams.

Progression

After successfully completing this course, students may go on to study for a degree with qualified teacher status (Primary or Secondary).
