Course Summary

POSTGRADUATE DIPLOMA IN EDUCATION (PRIMARY) (DUMFRIES): - Entry on to the 10-month full-time programme would normally follow successful completion of a first degree. In addition, all applicants would need a minimum of Higher English at grade C and National 5 Maths grade C prior to their application being considered. Relevant work experience will also be taken into account as part of the application process and this can be outlined on the personal statement on the UCAS application. There will be an interview for shortlisted applicants at the Dumfries campus. The programme will include all of the required academic elements, as well as compulsory school experience placements and will be fully GTCS (General Teaching Council for Scotland) accredited. This will enable those who successfully complete the programme to teach at any level within the primary school system. Details of the programme will be finalised in early 2019. In the meantime, it is possible to apply for the programme via UCAS.
