Entry requirements

Our CPD/PPD Modular programme is challenging but professionally enriching. We seek to recruit highly motivated, well-qualified and able students who have normally demonstrated an ability to study successfully to degree level and to have gained relevant professional experience.

However, we welcome experienced teachers with non traditional entry qualifications. Applications are welcome from professionals who wish to upgrade their qualifications and improve their career prospects. Relevant professional experience will be assessed and can be used to demonstrate ability where your original degree may not, on its own, meet our requirements.

If this applies to you please contact o the Director of Postgraduate Professional Development Professor Rhona Stainthorp.

Teachers working in schools in partnership with the University may be entitled to remission of fees.

With many of our applications coming from international students, we take great care in trying to ensure that our potential students can meet the academic challenge of our courses. We are prepared to consider a wide range of qualifications but must ensure that they are equivalent to our requirements.

Please contact us for an initial opinion if you are uncertain whether to submit a full application.

International applicants whose previous education has not been in English, have to meet an English language requirement. Access to adequate funding must also be demonstrated.
