WHY THIS PROGRAMME

This programme is accredited by the General Teaching Council for Scotland (GTCS), giving you the qualification to pursue teaching roles in schools across the UK.

With full-time and part-time study and placement options, this programme offers students a flexible model of learning.

As an aspiring teacher, this programme will provide you with the knowledge, skills and values you need to become the committed professional necessary for today’s schools.

Building on your subject-specific knowledge, you will be supported to develop creative ways to enthuse and educate young people.

With an emphasis on reflective practice linked to professional standards, you will develop skills to become a reflective practitioner in the classroom.

This programme offers the opportunity for dual qualification in two STEM subjects (dependent upon graduate qualifications of 80 SCQF credit points for each subject).

CAREER PROSPECTS

The School of Social & Environmental Sustainability has been in partnership with Dumfries & Galloway Council since 2008 and many of our graduating MA Primary Education and PGDE Education teachers find employment in the region.

To address the shortage of STEM teachers in secondary schools, not just in D&G but across Scotland, the PGDE Secondary Education in STEM Subjects has been developed as an innovative and flexible Initial Teacher Education programme to attract STEM career-changers as well as those graduating in a traditional STEM subject.
