ABOUT
Introduction:
This course is ideal for students who want to develop their knowledge in a chosen subject specialism as well as gain Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) which will allow them to teach in a secondary educational environment. Students on this course will be supported to become a confident and competent secondary school teacher who can enable children to learn effectively in a chosen subject specialism.
Why choose this course?
- The BSc/BA with Secondary Education courses are offered in a range of subjects, which are designated as subjects where there is a shortage of teachers in secondary schools;
- These subjects are: Chemistry, Computing, English, Mathematics and Physics;
- The course allows you to explore your chosen subject specialism in depth and gradually moves from an emphasis on the acquisition of subject knowledge and its applications in Year One and Year Two, to an emphasis on the pedagogical and professional knowledge and understanding required by an effective subject specialist teacher in the final year;
- Alongside your subject modules in Year Two, you will also undertake one education module which aims to introduce you to the foundations of pedagogical theory and effective teaching;
- In the final year of your study, you will undertake Level 6 education modules alongside postgraduate teacher training students, as well as completing professional practice that will allow you to be recommended for Qualified Teacher Status (QTS);
- Years Two and Three of your study include educational placement elements in order to prepare you for the workplace;
- We are supported by over 600 partnerships with local schools, colleges and organisations, ensuring our courses meet the demands of the competitive graduate market;
- The course design combines the essential elements required to enable you to commence a career in teaching as a newly qualified Early Career Teacher (ECT).These are: advanced subject knowledge at undergraduate level; knowledge of how children learn and are taught; specialist knowledge required to teach the chosen school subject and experience of being a practitioner in secondary schools.

QTS – Qualified Teacher Status
Successful completion of this course will lead to Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). Newly qualified teachers will be supported through the Early Career Framework (ECF), a two-year period of professional induction, which will ensure that your teaching career is built on a firm foundation.
Your future career
Upon successful completion of the course, graduates will generally enter jobs teaching children or young people. However, should you decide not to pursue teaching, other roles in an educational setting, including supporting, but with less direct contact with children or young people are also available.

You will also be able to enter some non-teaching related jobs that find the subject specialist skills you learnt in Year One and Year Two desirable.
