Physical education (PE) offers a range of activities that engage children and young people in purposeful, worthwhile, fun, enriching learning experiences.
We aim to educate teachers who can teach and motivate children and young people to live active lives. PE allows young people to develop physically, emotionally, intellectually and socially within an educational context that values and cares for them.
Our degree programme prepares you to teach pupils between 3 and 18 years old and offers an excellent route into physical education careers both in the UK and abroad. Over the course of the programme, you will learn about the primary and secondary curriculum in physical education, and complete placements in primary and secondary schools. After you graduate, you can register with the General Teaching Council for Scotland (GTCS).
Wherever you go on to work, our programme will leave you well-positioned to articulate, advocate and take action toward teaching for a better world.
