Description
The Mathematics with Secondary Education (QTS) programme is a three year programme, leading to an honours degree and a recommendation for Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).
Students are trained to teach mathematics at Key Stages 3, 4 and 5 (11-18 years), while at the same time studying mathematics, with the programme being delivered jointly by the School of Mathematics, Statistics and Actuarial Science at the University of Kent and the Faculty of Education at Canterbury Christ Church University. Students can specialise in mathematics and statistics while at the same time being prepared to be creative, reflective and flexible professionals with a deep understanding of learning and teaching.

Year 1 is spent studying alongside students on the BSc Mathematics programme at the University of Kent.
In Year 2, in addition to a compulsory Mathematics Education module at Canterbury Christ Church and associated school experience, students continue to study a range of mathematics modules alongside BSc Mathematics students at the University of Kent.
In Year 3, the Professional year, study is alongside PGCE students at Canterbury Christ Church as well as school experience. As some school experience will have been undertaken in Year 2, students undertake a project related to mathematics teaching at the University of Kent during the spring term.
