What it isYou study teaching methods and music theory, performance, and history together, so you graduate ready to teach music in schools. Unlike a regular music degree, this program embeds education training throughout, meaning you spend time in actual classrooms during your studies rather than adding it on afterward. It suits people who want to perform and teach music, or who know they want a teaching career but don't want to study music and education completely separately.This program combines science study with teacher education, so you earn qualifications to teach science in secondary school while completing your degree. Unlike a regular science degree followed by teacher training, you work toward both goals at the same time, with coursework in science disciplines alongside education theory and practice teaching. It suits students who know they want to teach and want to study science deeply rather than broadly.This is a broad science degree where you choose from fields like biology, chemistry, physics, computer science, geology, and others. You take foundational science courses in first year, then specialize by selecting which science subjects to focus on. Co-op is available, letting you do paid work terms at science-related employers alongside your studies.
