Share your passion for maths with the next generation by studying the BSc (Hons) Mathematics Education. This is a fast-track route into teaching, taking just three years to become a fully qualified teacher of mathematics at secondary or college level.

 

This course will help you develop in-depth knowledge and skills 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. Placements are an essential part of the course, allowing you to gain hands-on experience to prepare you for a successful career in teaching.

 

Whether you've recently studied mathematics, or are thinking of changing your career, one of the advantages of a three-year teaching degree is that you'll have time to develop the subject knowledge required to be a successful teacher over the course of the degree.

 

The Mathematics Education course is taught via lectures, tutorials, seminars and independent learning.

 

Throughout the degree you'll have one-to-one support from academic staff, whilst you study a combination of professional studies and mathematics at school level. This will involve a short, two week, non-assessed school experience, in each of the first two years, followed by an assessed teaching experience in your final year.

 

Alongside school experiences, you will learn how to teach key mathematical concepts, identifying common errors and misconceptions,  and consider educational issues in teaching mathematics.

 

Your progress will be assessed with reports, exams, presentations and computer-based assessments.
