Postgraduate Certificate Secondary Education (QTS) – Modern Languages PGCE

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 a 2:2—that is relevant to the subject you intend to teach. Your degree should include at least 50% French, German, or Spanish. If you are a native speaker of French, German, or Spanish, you may apply, but you must also hold a relevant degree qualification. The ability to offer an additional language (French, German, or Spanish) is preferable. Your academic suitability will be assessed based on the relevance of your degree, other qualifications, and experience related to your chosen teaching subject. You must also have GCSE Mathematics and English at Grade 4/C or above, or equivalent qualifications; if not already achieved, this will be a condition of any offer, and only equivalency tests from Equivalency Testing will be accepted. Additionally, you must complete an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check before taking up a place, complete relevant checks to confirm your health and physical capacity to teach, and agree to abide by the University of Birmingham Code of Professional Conduct and Fitness to Practise.
