Course Overview

If you are a teaching assistant - or occupy a similar educational role - and wish to work towards a professional qualification, this flexible Foundation degree can put you on the path to a career in teaching.

Designed to suit your existing work commitments, this part-time course builds on the experience you have already gained in the classroom to develop the knowledge, skills and expertise you need to work with pupils, other adults and teachers.

You learn using a variety of approaches including lectures, seminars, tutorials, workshops and the virtual learning environment. You are also encouraged to share your experiences with other students through peer self-support.

General Eligibility

We will consider you as an individual and take into account all elements of your application, not just your qualifications. We are looking for breadth and depth in your current studies and enthusiasm for the subject you wish to study.

A Foundation Degree will be of particular interest if you have completed a Modern Apprenticeship, vocational A levels, BTEC National or equivalent.

Foundation Degrees are also particularly suitable if you want to qualify while working.

As a guideline, a typical offer would require you to obtain a UCAS tariff score of between 32-48 points, based on your level 3 studies.

You can work out how many UCAS points your qualifications are worth with the UCAS tariff calculator
