Postgraduate Routes

Our postgraduate routes into teaching

If you’re nearing graduation, already working in education or looking to start a new career, we offer a range of postgraduate options so you can get the qualifications you need to teach in the sector you’re interested in. If you’re looking to become a primary or secondary school teacher, then you can choose from a number of options which lead to Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). Our lifelong learning courses set you up to gain Qualified Teacher Learning and Skills (QTLS) status.

University-led training

We offer training options including our one-year full-time PGCE courses, including a range of specialist subjects for secondary education. You’ll be taught on campus, have the opportunity to work with other trainees and also spend a significant amount of time on placement. If you’re working as an early years practitioner you can train to be an early years teacher and gain Early Years Teacher Status (EYTS).

School-led training

We’re pleased to be the preferred training provider for a number of partner schools offering School Direct, School Direct (salaried) and Teacher Apprenticeships. For full details, visit hud.ac/teach.
