Established in 1840 as a teacher training college, the University of Winchester has built on this history with high-quality and innovative teacher education programmes.PGCE Primary is a postgraduate professional programme of Initial Teacher Education (ITE) leading to the award of either Postgraduate Certificate in Education (with Masters level credits) or Professional Graduate Certificate in Education, both including the recommendation of the award of Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).Students are prepared to teach across the age ranges of 3-7 (full-time route only) or 5-11 (full-time or part-time route).
