University PGCE

This one year programme leads to a PGCE, recommendation for QTS and 60 credits at Master's level.

Benefits of the University-led PGCE

On our University led PGCE route, you will receive training at the University and have placements in any of our partner schools, giving you a broad range of experiences. You'll be closely supported by a mentor and tutor during this time.

Schools

You will have three placements in at least two different schools. The location and types of schools are wide-ranging, the vast majority are either in Bristol or commutable from Bristol via bus, train or car.

Prospective applicants should be aware that at least one of their placements may involve a commute although we will take individual needs into consideration as much as possible given the available placements. There will be a short primary school experience during the PGCE year.
