A satisfactory medical assessment and DBS enhanced check are also requirements for entry to this programme. ?Selection is based on the information provided on the DfE Apply application and on performance at interview. Typically, successful applicants have a good A-level grade or equivalent in Biology and a 2:2 Honours degree or above in a relevant subject area. For applicants who need to develop their Biology subject knowledge to gain access onto a PGCE it is possible to take a Subject Knowledge Enhancement (SKE) course.
