In addition to the University's standard entry requirements, you should have:

  • a minimum of three A levels with grades BBC (or a minimum of 112 UCAS points from an equivalent Level 3 qualification, eg BTEC National, OCR Diploma or Advanced Diploma)
  • GCSE English and either Mathematics or Science at grade C/4 or above (or equivalent)*
  • an enhanced Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) check for any placement in a school

*If you have not passed any of the required GCSEs at Grade C/4, you can study for them at private centres. Alternatively, you could undertake an equivalency test through one of the following agencies: A* Equivalency or Equivalency.com. They will assess your level prior to undertaking the test, to ascertain how much teaching input you will need in order to pass.

If you do not hold a GCSE at grade C/4 or above in either Mathematics or Science, you will need to gain this or pass an equivalency test in order to be considered for a PGCE. Students graduating from the degree who hold a GCSE grade C/4 or equivalent in English and either Mathematics or Science are guaranteed an interview for a PGCE or equivalent route to QTS at London Met.

The course is designed to equip you to progress to a postgraduate programme offering QTS and therefore the expectation is that you possess the necessary qualifications before commencing the degree.
