Dear applicant
We are delighted that you wish to be a teacher. Teaching is a wonderful career where you can make a significant difference to the lives of all children. The University of Northampton works in Partnership with a range of schools to provide you with interactive and personalised training to enable you to become a high quality teacher of children aged 3-7 or 5-11 (Primary) or 11-16 (Secondary).
We offer two routes to gain a training place; University based and School Direct for Primary places and School Direct for Secondary places.
All trainees will be working towards gaining a Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) which is 60 credits at Masters’ Level. In addition, you will be assessed against the Teachers’ Standards in order for you to be recommended for Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).
Please look at these two sites for details. The entry requirements are the SAME. If you are considering applying for a School Direct salaried route, then prior experience will be usually needed.
School Direct route – primary and secondary
University based route - primary
Applications via UCAS opens Oct 27th 2015
