At Maynooth University's Department of Education, you'll engage with educators dedicated to examining the foundations, principles, and values that shape educational policies, practices, and theories. This program offers a five-year path to secondary teaching certification, one year shorter than the traditional six-year route. During your undergraduate studies, you'll pursue a four-year Science degree while simultaneously completing 60 credits in Education. Upon completing these four years, you'll earn a Level 8 honors degree - a BSc Science (with Education). At this stage, you have two options: you may conclude your studies with this qualification to pursue other educational or career opportunities, or you can continue toward full teaching certification. To become a fully qualified teacher, you'll complete an additional postgraduate year, which fulfills the Teaching Council's requirements for registration as a Newly Qualified Teacher (NQT) in two subjects. Your Level 8 degree guarantees your place in this postgraduate year. After completing this fifth year, you'll be qualified to teach science and mathematics at all secondary levels, including Leaving Certificate. This accelerated pathway allows you to achieve full teaching qualifications in five years instead of the standard six (details of the six-year option are provided in the following bullet point).
