This course is suitable if you have secured a relevant degree and now wish to enter the field of Secondary Education, as a subject teacher. This course will prepare students for teaching in the secondary sector and is accredited by the General Teaching Council for Scotland. We will also introduce you to the many facilities and people available, in order to enrich your own understanding and, in turn, that of your pupils. We therefore provide a series of opportunities whereby guest speakers are invited to join us, to benefit from their insights. The majority of our students go on to enjoy careers as subject teachers initially. Thereafter, they may apply for promoted posts within the management teams in schools, or as Principal Teachers/ Curriculum Leaders. Some choose to enter other fields, operating as Education Officers within museums etc. Others undertake further study, to become Educational Psychologists etc. It is also possible to pursue a wide range of further careers, e.g. within Education Scotland, as Advisors/Directors within Local Education Authorities, within GTCS or in Initial Teacher Education in universities. Recent participants in this course have gone on to secure permanent posts in a range of settings, both within Scotland and abroad e.g. in International Schools. Some are operating within promoted posts in schools; others have been seconded to Education Scotland or returned to academic life as lecturers.
