The university is running the courses to help people employed in primary schools to develop professionally or qualify as teachers. For graduates there is a part-time PGCE, which takes two years and leads to a teaching qualification. Applicants for the course must also have Higher English and Credit level maths and be sponsored by or working for the local authorities in Glasgow, Stirling, North Lanarkshire or South Lanarkshire.
The other course is the Certificate in Childhood Studies, piloted in co-operation with Glasgow City Council. It also takes two years, with students attending classes one evening a week. The course can lead to a BA in Early Childhood Studies. Modules include working in a team to support children, child development and supporting children with special needs.
