What will I learn?

Our Science Education degree involves the study of both science and education over a four-year period after which you will be a fully qualified science teacher. UCC’s Science Education programme is an example of the concurrent model of teacher training which means that you study both science and education over the duration of the programme. On graduation, you will be fully qualified to teach two specialist science subjects to Leaving Certificate standard. This four-year science teacher training course is a collaboration between the School of Education at the College of Arts, Celtic Studies and Social Sciences (CACSSS) together with the College of Science, Engineering and Food Science (SEFS). Most of our teaching takes place in UCC's state-of-the-art Eureka Centre for Inquiry-Based Education in Science and Mathematics and in the SEFS laboratories.
