Cardiff Metropolitan University: Music (Secondary PGCE)

GCSE REQUIREMENTS - GCSE grade B/grade 5** or above in English Language, English Literature, Welsh Language (First Language) or Welsh Literature and Mathematics (or a standard equivalent). Where an equivalent to a grade B/grade 5** in either English Literature or Welsh Literature is achieved, a minimum of a grade C/grade 4** must be achieved in the corresponding GCSE examination in English or Welsh (First) Language. Applicants who have achieved a D or above in GCSE (or equivalent) in English Language and Mathematics on application, will be considered for interview (grade 4 or above for applicants holding the newly reformed GCSEs in England). Students studying to teach in Welsh medium schools will also need a GCSE grade C or above in Welsh (First language). INITIAL DEGREE REQUIREMENTS - 2:2 honours degree. Whilst it is expected that the content of your degree will contain a significant proportion of the subject in which you wish to train to teach, we do favourably consider applicants whose degrees are in a subject that is closely related.  Your application and interview (should you be selected) will be assessed on your potential to meet the QTS level of the Professional Standards for Teaching and Leadership that relate to subject knowledge, understanding and skills, and the extent to which these can successfully underpin your practice as a teacher of a particular subject, up to and including the teaching of A level and other post-16 curricula.
