What is the policy regarding applicants with degrees that do not contain a specifically English component, such as Law, Psychology, Philosophy, Sociology, Marketing, Criminology, Modern Languages?
All applications for PGCE English are scrutinised carefully, but we do require applicants to have at least 50% of their degree content in English (Literature, Language or English-related Linguistics). In some cases, decisions are based on careful scrutiny of degree content to determine whether applicants fulfil the criteria set out in the admissions policy.
