PGCE Postgraduate Certificate Secondary Education (QTS) - Religious Education

You are required to have a strong academic record at A level or equivalent in relevant subjects, along with a strong degree (usually a minimum of 2:2) relevant to the subject taught. We expect your degree to include at least 50 percentage Religious Studies, Philosophy, or Theology content. Graduates with Sociology, Ancient or Modern History, Classics, or Politics who also have a good pass in A level Religious Education, Religious Studies, Philosophy, or Critical Thinking are also invited to apply. In all cases, we will assess the relevance of your degree, other qualifications, and experiences related to your proposed teaching subject to determine academic suitability. You must also have GCSE Mathematics and English (Grade 4/C or above) or equivalent qualifications, which will be a condition of any offer if not already achieved (equivalency tests will be accepted but only from Equivalency Testing). You must have completed an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check before taking up a place, completed relevant checks to ensure you have the health and physical capacity to teach, and agree to abide by the University of Birmingham Code of Professional Conduct and Fitness to Practise.
