|---|---|
| Entry requirements | Undergraduate Degree Applicants are required to hold a good honours degree (2:2 minimum). GCSE Qualifications Grade B or above in GCSE English Language or English Literature or Welsh Language or Welsh Literature plus Grade C or above in GCSE English Language. Grade B or above in GCSE Mathematics or GCSE Numeracy. Grade C or above in GCSE Science (or equivalent). Equivalence workshops and tests are available for those with Grade C GSCE in English Language, Mathematics, and Welsh (first language). A-Levels/Level 3 Vocational Qualifications If applicants do not hold an undergraduate degree in a curriculum subject, successful study at appropriate higher levels must be evidenced. Work Experience You should be aware of the realities of being a teacher and life in a classroom and so we ask for recent and relevant experience in a primary educational setting. This may be through employment or volunteering in a school and should be for a minimum period of two weeks. Gaining experience in a school classroom will help to strengthen your application and better critically inform your personal statement. It will also prepare you for our selection process and give you some experience from which you can draw in your interview. Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) If accepted into our programme, you will be required as soon as possible to obtain a clearance check via the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS). Please note there is a fee associated with the service and you should ensure also that you opt for the 'update' service to maintain the validity of your clearance check. For further information please contact dbs@uwtsd.ac.uk What are we looking for? • A positive view of education as a means to transform lives How do we select our student teachers? • Quality of personal statement As part of its commitment to widening access, UWTSD pays particular attention to recruiting student-teachers from under-represented groups and has a proactive marketing strategy for engagement with Community First areas, groups with disabilities, ethnic minority communities and Welsh medium learners. Many schools and college departments, both locally and nationally, have former student-teachers as a part of their staff with many going on to forge successful teaching careers at strategic, professional and management levels at home and abroad. Our PGCE graduates usually remain in close touch with us as they make their careers in the teaching profession and they often become Subject/Class Mentors on the programme. This creates a very strong, sustainable professional network of teachers which is a rich source of continuing professional development. |
