Course summary
Share your love of Mathematics. Master the subject and inspire the next generation. Graduate and start a lifelong career teaching something you love. BSc (Hons) Mathematics Education (11-16 years) with QTS is a fast-track route into teaching. It takes just three years to be a fully qualified teacher of mathematics, compared to the four years it takes to do a degree and then a one-year PGCE. This course will deepen your knowledge, skills and love of learning mathematics, whilst training you to become a teacher at secondary or college level. The aims of the course are to develop an in-depth understanding of school level mathematics and the ability to teach conceptual understanding, whilst considering some of the challenges that children and young people face when learning maths. Whether you have recently studied mathematics, or are thinking of changing your career, one of the advantages of a three-year teaching degree is that you will have time to develop the subject knowledge required to be a successful teacher over the course of the programme.
