As an undergraduate, you will study a four-year 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. You now have two pathways open to you:
1. You can choose to exit your studies with your level 8 qualification
and take a different path in your education or career.
2. You can continue with your studies to become a fully qualified
teacher. This means you complete one further year of study
at postgraduate level - required in order to meet the Teaching
Council requirements to be registered as a Newly Qualified
Teacher (NQT) in two subjects. Having graduated with your
Level 8 BSc Mathematics and Computer Science (with
Education) degree, you are guaranteed your place in this
postgraduate year. At the end of year five of your studies, you
will be a fully qualified second-level computer science and
mathematics teacher up to Leaving Certificate level
