University courses

Search degrees, check A-level, IB Diploma or AP subjects, or follow a pathway from school subjects to a career. None of these tools is an offer of a place.

Explore a pathway

Move between school subjects, a degree and possible work. A link is not an offer and not proof that a degree is enough for a regulated job.

Choose a branch, then a career.

GCSE and IGCSE preparation

  • English and mathematics

    Often expected at GCSE or IGCSE. Grade thresholds differ, and International GCSEs are not automatically the same as GCSEs.

A-level subjects

    Direct qualifying route. Choose a course that awards QTS for the primary age range.

Possible careers

  • Primary school teacher

    Direct qualifying route. Choose a course that awards QTS for the primary age range.

  • Secondary school teacher

    Related, but not enough on its own. Secondary teaching usually needs a degree in the subject plus teacher training, not a primary education degree.

  • Teaching assistant

    Related, but not enough on its own. Teaching assistant posts do not require this degree. Experience in schools matters more.

This is a possible educational route, not an offer of a place and not a prediction of a job. Direct, common, alternative and postgraduate routes are not the same thing.
