About Primary Education (Early Years, 3-7), PGCE - at University of Birmingham

The School of Education at the University of Birmingham has a long tradition of delivering ITE primary courses. Its teaching has been graded as 'outstanding' for the third consecutive time by Ofsted inspectors which reaffirms the University's status as one of the UK's leading institutions for excellence in teacher training.

As well as offering outstanding teacher training courses, we are one of the few universities that awards 120 credits for successful completion of our courses, which we award at Masters level. For those who successfully complete their induction year there is an opportunity to transfer credits to the MA Teaching Studies course, which is awarded on completion of a 60 credit dissertation.

The primary programmes meet all aspects of government requirements for Initial Teacher Training. We are able to offer applicants a choice of two routes, so that you can prepare as a teacher across the full 5-11 age range or specialise instead in early years teaching (3-7 age range). Both programmes last for 38 weeks; the equivalent of 19 of which will be spent in schools.

Entry requirements

Students need to have an IELTS score of 6.5 with no less than 6.0 in any band.
