BSc (Hons) Education & Curricular Studies with Teaching Qualification

Teaching is a beautiful career.  Employment prospects are excellent due to a shortage of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) teachers in these subjects, and teachers recently received a 13.5% pay increase. 

This course is aimed at students who have, or are soon to complete, a suitable HND from a college in Scotland. It's a 4-year route into teaching and comprises two years of study for an HND, followed by two years at Strathclyde. You have direct entry into Year 3 of the BSc (Hons) in Education and Curricular Studies with a Teaching Qualification.

Our unique course offers a pathway from an HND to an honours degree with a teaching qualification, opening up a career opportunity not available until now.
