Overview

Applied Mathematics & Mathematics Education (Hons) / MSc at UCD College of Science designed so that from the start, you study mathematics and applied mathematics, along with education, in an integrated manner. In third year, you will gain teaching experience by completing placements (which we find for you) in a post-primary school and as a third-level tutor. The four-year BSc in Applied Mathematics, Mathematics and Education leads directly to the one-year MSc in Mathematics and Science Education. On completion of both degrees, you are fully qualified to teach Applied Mathematics and Mathematics to Higher Level Leaving Certificate Level.

Key Facts:

Placements are integrated into this course from first year, with year-long placements at two different post-primary schools during the final two years of the course.

Accreditation

The five-year course is fully accredited by the Teaching Council of Ireland.
