  • Learning designer
  • Widening participation officer
  • Training and development officer
  • Teacher, after a qualifying route

Where they work

  • Universities and research centres
  • Local authorities and multi-academy trusts
  • Educational publishers and technology firms
  • Charities and international agencies
  • Government departments
After the course

A PGCE or School Direct place if you want qualified teacher status, or a master's and doctorate for the research and policy route.
