Teacher education

We offer teacher training courses for professionals working with children and young people and are one of the largest providers of teacher education in the country. Our teacher training includes PGCE and Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) courses and spans primary and early years education, secondary education, and post compulsory education and training.

We have an excellent reputation for quality, and recent Ofsted reports have continued to recognise the high standard of our teaching courses. Many of our teacher training courses and research projects are linked with the Training and Development Agency for Schools. We also have strong partnerships with over 600 local and regional schools and colleges.

Our PGCE and QTS teacher training graduates have been extremely successful in gaining teaching posts.
