General entry advice
The PGCE programmes all require a minimum of the following:
Bachelor\'s degree with a minimum 2nd class honours or higher degree (e.g. master\'s) (or international equivalent) required in computer science, computing, information technology or information systems. Related degrees that include a high computer science component may also be considered.
Knowledge and understanding of the subject you intend to teach.Applicants must have experience enabling them to teach computer science theory and practice to GCSE level and information technology to A-level. Enhancement courses: If your degree is in information technology but your knowledge of computer science is limited you may be asked to complete a one to six-month subject knowledge enhancement (SKE) course. You have to secure a place on a PGCE course before you can start SKE, and SKE typically starts in May or July, so you are advised to apply early for the PGCE. For further guidance, see our detailed FAQs.
GCSE grade C in English language and mathematics. Applicants without these English or mathematics qualifications at the time they apply may be considered, but they must obtain them, or pass an equivalent test set by King\'s, before the course starts.
