If you already have a degree, you can train to become a qualified teacher in just one year through the University of Cumbria’s PGCE with Qualified Teaching Status (QTS) course. We offer five different specialisms and 14 different subjects.

On the PGCE programme, you will learn through hands-on placements working in real schools, complemented by lecturer time at the University or at one of the 27 School Direct Partnerships.

Funding is also available at different levels, and through different schemes, depending on what course and specialism you decide to do. Speak to us to find out what is best for you.
