About

During this one-year course, experience a practical placement that provides you with hands-on experience. You can take this placement with an institution or organisation you already know or a new one, the sourcing of which we can support you with. If you are already working in an education setting, you can even use your employment as your placement. Our industry-experienced tutors support and provide you with a solid academic grounding to complement your practical experience. You'll study subjects associated with education, teaching and learning, gaining a national and international perspective of education. Discover the world of social justice, policy and current affairs in the context of education.

What you will learn

This programme will develop useful skills for a future working in a range of education settings, including roles such as a learning mentor, teaching assistant, family support worker or museum education officer. Alternatively, if you want to become a Primary School teacher, you can top up your qualifications with a one-year PGCE course to gain Qualified Teacher Status, subject to application.

Entry Requirements

SELECTION CRITERIA.

The potential to succeed can be measured in a number of ways including academic qualifications and skills obtained outside academic study, such as work experience. We have a points range so we can take into account all of the information on your application form and adjust the offer from the evidence provided. Please see below for our essential selection criteria:

Successful clearance for Disclosure and Barring Service (ie a police background check) and Occupational Health. The university will contact you about this if you are offered a place.
240 credits: 120 at level 4 (or equivalent) and 120 credits at level 5 (or equivalent) in a related subject.
GCSE in English at grade C/4 or above (or equivalent).

Contextual Admissions

Going to higher education can transform a personâ€™s life. We use contextual admissions to make sure that we are accessible to everyone who has the potential to succeed. Qualifications and grades are important, but they are considered alongside other information that helps universities to identify potential and widen access to university level study. For some individuals, the disadvantages they have experienced in their life mean that they have not been able to demonstrate their full academic potential. Where a person lives and their personal circumstances can all affect their educational attainment.

We take this context into account and look for an applicantâ€™s potential when making admission decisions. The University of Cumbria will make offers to applicants that live in postal code regions with the lowest participation in Higher Education (Polar 4 quintile 1 â€“ you can check your postcode here) and care leavers, offers will be made at the bottom of any UCAS Tariff range. Attendance at our Masterclasses and Summer Schools will also allow applicants to receive an offer lower within the tariff range. (T&Cs apply)
