Duration: 4 years + 1 year postgraduate study
>If you would like to graduate with a second level teacher qualification to teach Mathematics and Computer Science then the BSc Mathematics and Computer Science (with Education) is for you.
>Study for four years as an undergraduate for a Science degree, while also completing 60 credits in Education. After four years you are awarded a BSc Mathematics and Computer Science (with Education) degree – a level 8 honours degree. To become a fully qualified teacher, you must complete one further year.
>Having graduated with the Level 8 BSc Mathematics and Computer Science (with Education) degree after four years, you are guaranteed a place in year five - the one year Level 9 Professional Master of Education. At the end of year five, you will be a fully qualified and registered second level teacher.
Why choose this degree? >By choosing this degree you will have a range of options open to you after four years. Having studied Mathematics, Computer Science and Education for four years you are awarded a BSc Mathematics and Computer Science (with Education) degree - a level 8 honours degree. You can decide to exit the programme at this stage or stay on for one more year of postgraduate study, which will result in the Level 9 Professional Master of Education degree. This extra year is required in order to meet the Teaching Council requirements to be registered as a Newly Qualified Teacher (NQT) in two subjects.
>Having completed the five years of the BSc Mathematics and Computer Science (with Education) degree, students have a Professional Master of Education (PME). Graduates from this programme are on an equal footing with graduates from the consecutive route (i.e. four year BSc followed by two year PME). Through this pathway you are fully qualified after five years rather than taking the six year route.
Course structure
> After four years of concurrent Mathematics, Computer Science and Education studies, students may graduate with a Level 8 honours degree in Mathematics and Computer Science (with Education)
> To become a fully qualified Mathematics and Computer Science teacher, students must complete a fifth year of study at Masters level – the Professional Master of Education
Possible topics 1st year
> Computer Science > Mathematics > Mathematical Physics > Experimental Physics
2nd year
>Continue with Mathematics and Computer Science
> Introduction to Teaching – Critical reflection on science and mathematics teaching and learning including school based experience in semester two
> The Learner and Learning 154
>Once you reach the required standards after 4th year, the place in 5th year is guaranteed
Options after graduation?
After five years of study on the Mathematics and Computer Sci- ence (with Education) degree students will have achieved a Level 9 Professional Master of Education (PME) teaching qualification in two/three subjects. Graduates will be ready to accept a teaching position in a second level school. We offer a range of postgraduate courses which currently include:
>
