How was this list compiled and how complete is it?In 2006, the English team at the Secondary Strategy circulated inquiries from us to a large number of admissions tutors for PGCE English courses. All the responses we received were positive about applications from linguistics graduates, and many were enthusiastic about them; several told us that in their experience linguistics graduates have less difficulty with literature than literature graduates have with language. All the institutions listed below consider applications from linguistics graduates. We are sure the list is not complete, so please tell us if you know of other such courses. (Lynne Cameron and Katharine Perera carried out a similar (but more systematic) postal survey of ITTPs in 1994 on behalf of CLIE.
