Specific Entry Requirements

UK qualifications

https://getintoteaching.education.gov.uk/eligibility-for-teacher-training

ITT offers a unique training route to achieving qualified teacher status (QTS or PGCE with QTS) and aims to attract the highest quality candidates. To apply for a place, you must have:

  • A UK undergraduate honours degree or a recognised equivalent qualification
  • A GCSE grade C/4 or above (equivalency test accepted) in English Language and mathematics
  • A GCSE grade C/4 or above (equivalency test accepted) in a science

 

Overseas qualifications

If you studied outside of the UK, you should visit the UK ENIC – the UK National Information Centre for the recognition and evaluation of international qualifications and skills website to find out whether your qualifications are of an equivalent level to UK GCSEs, A levels and an undergraduate degree.

Following the UK’s departure from the European Union, the UK NARIC recognition agency function must change from a NARIC (which is an EU-only title) to an ENIC (the wider European title for national recognition agencies), to meet the UK’s continuing treaty obligations under the Lisbon Recognition Convention. Therefore, on 1 March 2021, the UK NARIC agency title becomes UK ENIC, operated and managed by Ecctis Limited.
