The PGCE in Science program closely follows the Northern Ireland Curriculum, preparing graduates to teach Science to students aged 11-18. This course focuses on building both your skills and confidence in Science instruction and in overall teaching responsibilities. Ideal for Science graduates or those nearing graduation who want to transition into teaching, it also offers specialized spots for those wishing to teach in Irish-medium schools. Successful completion includes an additional Irish Medium Education (IME) certification, awarded in partnership with St Mary's University College.
