I'm doing my A-Levels and I want to be a teacher
What does it take to become a teacher?
What's the quickest route to teaching?
A full-time university course to become a teacher can take 3 to 4 years if you do a Bachelors of Education (BEd). If you choose to study a specific subject to gain a Bachelor of Arts (BA) or a Bachelor of Science (BSc) you may need to do an extra year (full-time) or two (part-time) to gain a Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE).
Whatever route you take, make sure the third level qualification you choose will include Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). Degrees with opt-in QTS are available in certain subjects such as modern foreign languages, computing and physics. Applications are generally made through UCAS, but programmes such as Future Teaching Scholars will take direct applications.
