• GCSE English and either Mathematics or Science at grade C/4 or above (or equivalent)

If you do not hold a GCSE at grade C/4 or above in either Mathematics or science, you will need to gain this in order to be considered for a PGCE.

The course is designed to equip you to progress to a postgraduate programme offering QTS and therefore the expectation is that you possess the necessary qualifications before commencing the degree.

To study a degree at London Met, you must be able to demonstrate proficiency in the English language. If you require a Tier 4 student visa you may need to provide the results of a Secure English Language Test (SELT) such as Academic IELTS.
