PGCE Primary (3-7)

Leeds Trinity University is committed to recruiting students with talent and potential and who we feel will benefit greatly from their academic and non-academic experiences here. We treat every application on its own merits; we value highly the experience you illustrate in your personal statement.

The following information is designed to give you a general overview of the qualifications we accept. If you are taking qualifications that are not included below, please contact our Admissions Office who will be happy to advise you.

• An undergraduate honours degree (usually a 2:2 or above) or equivalent. Please note that applicants with third-class honours degrees will be considered on an individual basis, and normally only if applicants have additional qualifications and/or significant relevant professional experience.
• GCSE Grade 4 (or C or accepted equivalent) in English Language or English Literature, Science and Mathematics. If you do not already have the appropriate GCSEs, or if you are unable to provide proof of your grades, please refer to the GCSE Equivalency information below.
• The ability to read effectively and communicate clearly and accurately in spoken and written standard English.
• Suitable personal and intellectual qualities required for teaching in primary schools.
• Applicants also need to demonstrate the commitment, attitudes and values appropriate to those of a primary teacher and the potential to train as a teacher. Strong applicants often have experience in primary schools, but this is not a requirement.

This course is not available to students on a Student Route Visa.
