can you do GCSE courses at uni?

Question

cos i got grade E in maths, but wanna do a degree in teaching, but dont know if i will be able to go

Answer 1

no- you can only resit them at college. however if you are 19 or over you may want to consider an access course in teaching. this provides a quick pathway to university study as unlike a-levels all the study is condensed into one year and you don't need any formal qualifications to do an access course. other than a motivation to succeed. depending on where you live, different colleges offer various types of access courses, but the colleges that you might want to contact are, kensington and chelsea college who do an access to humanities and social science, which is based on teaching and social work, westminister kingsway college offer an access to teaching (for primary education) programme and south thames college. however, there are some universities who offer access courses in teaching-yet the ones i suggested are based in london, but i'd suggest that you do a thorough search of access courses in your local area on the web, if you have no intention to travel and study in london and to order the prospectuses. i wish you the best of luck!

Answer 2

Are you still in college now? When are you planning to go to uni?

You'll need A levels to get onto an education degree course unless you're a mature student with experience in the educational sector. Personally, i've never understood why people are allowed to begin A level courses without a pass in Maths and English (unless they're doing a resit alongside their A level study)

Your application to uni will be considered much more favourably if you have a good pass at GCSE maths before you apply, though if you find a uni to let you in without it, you would need to enrol privately at a local college to do the GCSE in your own time. The actual university will not run a GCSE course in any subjects.

Answer 3

Hi there my best advise to you would be to re-take your maths gcse grade as you need a grade C in order to do teaching. If you are young this should be no probs 4 ya :) I had to re-take my maths gcse and also got an E the first time but retook it and got a C so dont worry coz u can do it and you will do if you are prepared to work hard!! lol gudluck wif ur exams and stuf

ps: no unis do gcse courses lol as its higher education

Answer 4

I'm afraid not. The requirements for becoming a teacher are;
GCSE in English Grade C or above
GCSE in mathematics Grade C or above
GCSE in a science subject if you want to teach primary or key stages 2/3 Grade C or above
A UK degree (or equivalent qualification) Pass

A degree is not required to begin undergraduate teacher training, ie. bachelor of education and bachelor of arts/science with qualified teacher status. The initial teacher training providers awarding these qualifications will have their own requirements.

Answer 5

ok whats rather frightening is that i'm from Sunderland myself (in the adventure that your from Sunderland, uk AND are a mackem i will love you LMAO) yet besides what grade did you get at maths at GCSE. if to procure a C you're able to be superb. Ah in case you on no account took one, then your rather going to warfare, many times you want Maths OR English even nonetheless that is lots much less demanding in case you have the two, even nonetheless that is nevertheless available

Answer 6

No, I'm afraid you can't take GCSEs at university... but you can take them at college, so resit your maths and then you should be able to enroll on a teaching degree.

Answer 7

No, you can do HND, BSc, MSc etc, if you dn't have the GCSE grades needed for your course they will still take you but they will tell to to study the subject at a partner college.

Answer 8

you need a c to pass. you might not even get to do your course without the grades. you might be able to resit.
