PGCE Primary (7-11) (Key Stage 2) at London Metropolitan University

Entry requirements

You will be required to have: minimum of a 2.2 UK degree or master’s (MA/MSc) pass at literacy and numeracy tests, which are university-based tests that you will be asked to undertake at your interview; a valid Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) certificate and Confirmation of Fitness to Teach (eg a London Metropolitan University Health Check) which you will be advised to apply for after an offer is made; GCSE English, Mathematics and Science grade C/4 or above (or equivalent)*; We do make conditional offers (with strict deadlines), so it is important that you include all pending qualifications in your application. We will assess any overseas qualifications for equivalence using a number of resources, including our own internal guidelines, the UK ENIC and the Overseas Degree Table. We highly recommend the one-to-one tailored advice on eligibility and equivalency offered by the Department for Education’s Get into Teaching service. *If you need to take an equivalency test for any of the required GCSEs, please sign up for A Star Equivalency or Equivalency Testing. They offer all three GCSE equivalencies. Please be aware that you may need to undertake study towards the exam, either with the equivalency organisation or independently. Alternatively, you might want to sign up for a college course in the relevant subject, though this is likely to take longer and you may not have the chance for a re-sit, if required, prior to the start of the PGCE course.
