Frequently asked questions
Can you become a teacher if you study education in the United Kingdom?
An education bachelor's on its own may not give you the right to teach. UCL's degree does not award Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), and graduates can later apply for a one-year teacher training program. According to GOV.UK, QTS is needed to teach in state schools in England, part of the United Kingdom.
Is there an exam if you study teaching abroad and apply for equivalence (denklik) in Türkiye?
There may be. If YÖK sees gaps in the core learning outcomes in an equivalence (denklik) application, it can ask for a level assessment exam. For teaching, ÖSYM holds this written exam once a year, and you need at least 40 points out of 100 to pass.
Is there a school placement in an education bachelor's?
It depends on the program. UCL's Education, Society and Culture bachelor's has two optional placement modules in the 2nd year. In these modules, the student pays for transport, and some modules may require a DBS criminal record check.
