International Students
PLEASE NOTE for 2010/11 Entry: We regret that we are no longer able to consider applications from either International or Channel Islands students to the PGCE primary programme as we have reached capacity in terms of school placements and student numbers. We still welcome International and Channel Island applications to the secondary programme'.
The United Kingdom has an outstanding reputation for higher education. As one of the nation's leading schools of Education, we warmly welcome international students and firmly believe in the value gained by having a diverse student body. The success, reputation and location of the School make us an attractive choice for students from around the world and have allowed us to develop a strong international community.
