Subject Knowledge Enhancement Courses
The DfE funding available for Subject Knowledge enhancement (SKE) courses in 2022/23 will be announced soon.
We are able to make an offer of a teacher training place with the condition of completing a SKE course prior to the start of the PGCE course.
SKE courses are available if:
- your degree wasn’t in your chosen subject, but is closely related
- you studied the subject at A level, but not at degree level
- you have an unrelated degree, but relevant professional experience in the subject
Eligibility excludes anyone who has a degree in their chosen ITT subject that was awarded in the previous 5 years.
We identify an applicant’s need for a SKE as part of their selection process, usually at interview.
Training costs are covered by the DfE
Participant bursary funding is £175 per week for the duration of the course.
SKE courses are available in these subjects:
- Biology
