Overview

At the Education (Hons) programme course at the University of Dundee, if you choose the optional International Baccalaureate (IB) pathway, you will be eligible to apply for the IB Certificate in Teaching and Learning (Primary Years Programme), enabling you to teach all over the world.

There are periods of professional practice placements throughout the course, giving you experience in a range of different settings including nursery/early years (ages 3-7) and middle/upper stages (ages 8-12). This helps you to apply theory to practice from an early stage in your studies.

Career opportunities:

The number of students selected for Initial Teacher Education programmes in Scotland reflects anticipated national requirements, so employment prospects are excellent.

Graduates whose training is publicly funded (normally those based in Scotland or Europe) can apply for a salaried one-year induction post in Scotland (as part of the Scottish Teacher Induction Scheme). On successful completion of this year you will then be entitled to full registration with the General Teaching Council for Scotland (GTCS).

Students paying overseas fees are not eligible to apply for the Scottish Teacher Induction Scheme.
