This program serves as the initial step for those pursuing a conventional path into secondary education. It focuses on the Initial Teacher Education component of your professional journey. After successfully completing an induction year in a school setting (Teaching Induction Scheme), you'll earn certification to instruct your chosen subjects across Scotland.
For dual qualification, you have the option to pair any two subjects from Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry.
Our curriculum equips you to teach scientific components within both the broad general education framework and the senior phase, aligned with National Qualifications for your selected disciplines.
Through two campus-based learning modules and three practical school placements, you'll develop essential classroom competencies while studying pedagogical theories for educating children and adolescents. The program also covers effective strategies for promoting literacy, numeracy, and overall student well-being.
