Program details

Overview

This one-year, full-time postgraduate teaching qualification prepares students for primary teaching on the Gaelic pathway. The course runs across the UHI network, and the college offers a supportive and immersive Gaelic setting in which to train. Study combines distance learning with on-campus attendance. Student teachers can take a language class during college weeks to build the skills needed for Gaelic-medium classrooms, and extra financial support may be open to those training in Gaelic-medium settings. Graduates are prepared to teach in Gaelic-medium primary schools, supporting the continued expansion of Gaelic-medium education across Scotland. The programme suits those who want a career change into teaching, as well as those already committed to Gaelic education, and it offers a bilingual route into a profession that values teachers with strong Gaelic.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Relevant undergraduate degree, National 5 (or equivalent) in Maths and Higher (or equivalent) in English.
