From Cert Ed to second year BA (Hons) Education Studies, graduate teaching programme or Master's Degree in Education
Before progressing to the main programme there is a requirement to successfully complete the introductory module (in the autumn term of the first year). There is an expectation that students will work in their own time to complete the necessary reading, reflection, evaluation and assessment work.
It is advised that you will spend significant hours of independent study outside timetabled sessions. Please think carefully before undertaking a course of this nature as it is demanding and you will need to consider your work, family and social commitments. Accreditation of prior learning (APL) and accreditation of prior experience and learning (APEL) will be considered via individual application by the university.
