This course has been developed in close collaboration with local authority partners, to produce graduates who meet the needs of schools and local authorities, and it will be accredited by the General Teaching Council for Scotland (GTCS).

With a strong theme of leadership throughout the course, your development as a leader of learning is emphasised from the start of your career.

Graduates from this course will normally begin their teaching careers in their chosen subject. Thereafter, there are a range of possible routes for career progression, including promoted posts as Principal Teachers or Curriculum Leaders, moving into pupil support or guidance roles, or progressing within management teams in schools. Some may choose to enter other related fields, for example in informal learning settings such as museums, science and discovery centres. Others may undertake further study, for example to become education psychologists or researchers, to pursue careers with national bodies such as Education Scotland, the Scottish Qualifications Authority or the GTCS, or to progress as advisors or directors within local education authorities.
