PGDE Primary (Gaelic Medium) at University of the Highlands and Islands

Entry requirements

Applicants should hold an undergraduate degree; an honours degree at 2:2 or above is preferred, though applicants without honours who show sufficient academic capacity through their degree transcript are considered. Before starting, applicants need English (Scottish Higher C or above, A level D or above, or GCSE English Language and English Literature at C/4 or above) and Mathematics or Applications of Mathematics (National 5 C or above, SQA Intermediate 2 C or above, Standard Grade Credit, or GCSE grade C/4 or above). The personal statement and reference should show readiness to become a primary teacher. Selection events are usually held virtually in late February or early March. Applications are made through the main UCAS scheme. PVG Scheme membership is required (Category 1 course); applicants who lived outside the UK for six or more consecutive months in the past five years need criminal records checks from those countries. No deferred entry. Applicants must be fluent Gaelic speakers at the start of the course, with proficiency assessed at interview.
