Course Overview

If you have a degree and wish to pursue a career in teaching mathematics (and related subjects) in secondary schools, then this course is for you.

Some of the key transferable skills you could gain include planning, time management, teamwork, communication, problem-solving, analytical and modelling skills, research and self-discipline.
