(1 year, 18 months and 24 months)
- The Postgraduate Certificate in Education is awarded by Senate, on the recommendation of the Board of the School of Education, to candidates who have satisfactorily completed an approved course of study in the School of Education and have satisfied the examination requirements.
- The programme shall comprise the study and practice of education and shall extend over one year unless it is combined with studies leading to a degree of the University, in which case special regulations shall apply, or students embark on the 18 or 24-month course to develop suitable subject expertise.
- Applicants for admission to the programmes must hold the following:
- either GCE Ordinary level passes in English and Mathematics, or GCSE passes at grades A, B or C in English and Mathematics; for the Primary PGCE, GCE Ordinary level pass in Science or GCSE passes at grades A, B or C in Science (preferably Double Science) or equivalent;
- a degree awarded by an approved University or by the CNAA.
Exceptionally, applicants with other qualifications approved by the Head of School may be accepted by the Programme Board.
- At the end of the first 6 months of the 18-month programme or 12 months of the 24-month programme, progression to the one-year PGCE is achieved if students produce a portfolio of evidence which demonstrates suitable subject knowledge.
- Subject to the approval of the Programme Board, candidates who have been unsuccessful in the examination may submit themselves for re-examination on one occasion only. The conditions for re-examination shall be prescribed by the Programme Board and, unless the Board permits otherwise, re-examination shall take place within twelve months of initial failure. Subject to the approval of the School Board, candidates who achieve an H level will be awarded a professional Graduate Certificate of Education.
- A list will be issued showing the names of successful candidates in alphabetical order.
