Abstract
The origin of accelerated or intensified degrees in general is considered and a digest of writing on such degrees is provided. In particular the author describes the University Funding Council (UFC) and Polytechnics and Colleges Funding Council (PCFC) accelerated degree developments in teacher education and cites the limited amount of evaluative writing. OFSTED has carried out a limited evaluation of these routes to qualified teacher status and the principal findings and issues are reported.Keywords
