Course Overview

Careers include a range of educational roles within schools, further and higher education, local councils and library or museum services. You may progress to a primary PGCE that provides Qualified Teacher Status with a good honours degree. To teach in the further education sector, you must be qualified one level higher than the students you are preparing. You would typically have at least a level 3 qualification in the subject you would like to teach, allowing you to study for a Certificate in Education and Training or Professional Graduate Certificate in Education and Training. Please speak to the course leader for more details.

All programmes are designed to incorporate employability skills development alongside your degree course. Our staff utilise their extensive connections to provide many and varied opportunities to engage with potential employers through fairs, guest lecture sessions, live projects and site visits. In addition, we offer a series of workshops and events in the first, second and third year that ensure all students are equipped with both degree-level subject knowledge and the practical skills employers are looking for in new graduate recruits.

Our award-winning careers service works with regional and national employers to advertise graduate positions and provide post-graduation support for all Teesside University alumni.
