This course for adults who want to study at University but do not yet have the required qualifications and may need to develop their study skills. To be successful on this course you need to be prepared for one year of intensive study, including a lot of private study as well as your time in College.

For the career path to Teaching and Education Studies, you will take modules in Education Studies English and Study Skills, and choose two options from Anthropology, English Literature, History, Psychology, Sociology, and South Asian Studies. It is a requirement of Teacher Training courses that students have GCSE English, Science and Maths or equivalent. If you need GCSE equivalence, you can pick this up as part of the course.

This route is only available for applicants with a significant amount of experience of work in an educational setting, such as Teaching Assistants from local schools.

We have good links with local providers of BA QTS courses, including the University of Cumbria at Mile End. We also have strong links with Roehampton University in West London.
