Many Bath Spa graduates choose to train as a teacher after their undergraduate course. Teaching can be a rewarding and fulfilling career choice with various opportunities for progression and development.
Most people have heard of PGCEs, but there are actually multiple training routes available including school-based routes and graduate schemes.
