Course Details

On our PGCE Primary programme you will benefit from our collaboration with a wide range of partner schools and the diverse communities we serve will enrich your experience. Once you have enrolled on the PGCE primary course, you can opt to specialise either in working with 3-7 year olds or 5-11 year olds.

Students on the 3-7 specialism will undertake two placements, one in in the Early Years Foundation Stage and one in Key Stage 1. Students on the 5-11 specialism will undertake two placements in Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2.

As part of your Primary ITE programme, you will complete two intensive training and practice modules (ITAPs). ITAPs are an opportunity for you to focus on a particular strand of primary teaching for a week of intensive training, with opportunities for feedback on individual teaching. The focus of the four weeks of ITAPs for all primary routes are: 

  • Effective instruction

  • Early reading

  • Adaptive teaching including for children with EAL and SEND

  • Assessment and adaptive teaching

On our programme you will be challenged to develop informed and justified decisions about how you approach your teaching, in order to enable you to continue to develop over your career. On successful completion of your PGCE you will be awarded 80 credits towards your Masters and you may return to study with us on a part-time basis to complete your Masters qualification. 

If you are interested in primary teaching and you have a grade 7/A or above in GCSE Mathematics (or equivalent), you may like to train as a mathematics specialist.

Information may be found on our Primary Education in Mathematics course page. Alternatively, if you are interested in working with children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities you may wish to join our Primary SEND programme. 

The School of Education at the University of Birmingham in the West Midlands, has a long tradition of delivering teacher training courses. Its teaching has been graded as 'outstanding' three times by Ofsted inspectors which affirms the University’s status as one of the UK’s leading institutions for excellence in teacher training.

You will also have a personal academic tutor to guide and support you, as well as a dedicated mentor in placement schools.
