Careers for Primary Education PGDE

On successful completion of this course you will gain provisional registration as a primary teacher, and all UK and EU participants are guaranteed one year’s employment in a Scottish primary school.

The majority of our students go straight into teaching after graduating. After a while they may then apply for promoted posts within school management teams. Some choose to enter other fields, such as learning support or outdoor education, or they may go on to further study, for example in educational psychology.

It is also possible to pursue a wide range of further careers, for example within Education Scotland, as advisors or directors within local education authorities, within GTCS or in initial teacher education in universities.
