What courses do we offer?

As well as our world-class PGCE for International Trainees, we also offer the International Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) qualification. Both are internationally recognised, postgraduate teacher training qualifications for teachers looking to advance their practice and career.

You can also explore our full range of Master's and Doctoral courses as well as Postgraduate Certificates and Diplomas (link to category pages). These provide teachers with a fantastic way to link rigorous academic inquiry with practical application of theory in an educational context. 

Our specialist courses on Leadership and Management, Inclusive Educational Leadership (SEND) and Mentoring, as well as Leadership in Sport and Residential Education give teachers the opportunity to develop their focus on a particular aspect of education.
