Course summary

This two-year long, full honours degree equips you with the knowledge, skills and understanding to build your professional career, including access to Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), which can be achieved on completion of an additional PGCE course.

As a graduate of our Primary Education accelerated degree course, you will be guaranteed an interview for a PGCE at London Met, as well as a 20% discount on further study. While some universities offer three-year courses that lead to QTS, our accelerated Primary Education degree combined with a PGCE provides you with greater opportunities – read on to find out more.

The combination of an accelerated degree and a PGCE to achieve QTS has a number of benefits:

Studying an accelerated degree will help you achieve the best degree classification possible without the additional pressure of having to meet the teacher standards and gain QTS while on placement.
The placements you will carry out on the two-year accelerated programme will allow you to see and practise the skills and knowledge you are learning on the degree course, without having the judgement of whether you meet QTS at an early stage in your development as an educator.
This allows you to develop more as a reflective practitioner so that when you move onto the PGCE you have gained relevant and useful experience and have had time to reflect on your own skills and abilities.
On a PGCE you are supported individually by a link tutor from the University, who will help ensure you have the best possible experience, as well as a school-based mentor during your placements.
A PGCE is an internationally recognised qualification, allowing more flexibility in where you can teach once qualified.
A PGCE provides you with 60 master’s-level credits, which you can use towards a master’s in education at a later point in your career.
This course will help you form the ability to think clearly about educational theory and how it shapes practice. You'll achieve this through research-based innovation, ethical judgement and a capacity to work in collaboration with others. You will develop your understanding of research-based best practice, the ethical issues involved and how these help or hinder the delivery of social justice and equality.
