About Primary and Early Years, PGCE - at Bath Spa University

Developed in partnership with schools and early years settings, our Primary teacher training programmes will support you to become an innovative and inspiring teacher.

There are a number of age phases and specialist pathways to consider, through which you'll achieve Qualified Teacher Status (QTS):

  • PGCE Primary and Early Years (3-7 age phase) - UCAS CODE: X110
  • PGCE Primary and Early Years (5-11 age phase) 2019/20 options to specialise include: English, Science, Maths, SEND, Behaviour for learning, The Arts, Modern Languages - UCAS CODE: X100
  • PGCE Primary and Early Years (7-11 age phase) 2019/20 options to specialise include: English, Science, Maths, SEND, Behaviour for learning, The Arts, Modern Languages - UCAS CODE: X174

Our full time programmes last for approximately 40 weeks. You'll spend about two thirds of this time in a school or educational setting. Throughout the teacher training programme there is a dynamic relationship between your training in the University and your training in schools.

We also offer you the opportunity to study and train part-time three days per week over 16 months for the 5-11 and 7-11 age-phases. Our part-time PGCE Primary course runs on a unique timetable starting in January through to May of the following academic year.
