Overview

You will also learn about the Catholic vision of education and the methodology appropriate to Catholic religious education in primary and secondary schools.

The Religious Education (Online) degree offered by University of Glasgow will allow you to teach in Catholic schools.

It will provide you with the requisite understanding of the main tenets of Catholic Christian theology, the Catholic vision of education and the methodology appropriate to Catholic religious education.

Career prospects

The Catholic Teacher’s Certificate (CREDL) is recognised by the Bishops of Scotland as a preliminary qualification in Catholic religious education. Any teacher wishing to be appointed to teach in a Catholic denominational school in Scotland must seek the approval of Church authorities by demonstrating how their personal “religious belief and character” enables them to undertake the duties of the particular teaching post within the context of a Catholic school, with its particular mission, values and ethos.

For those posts which include responsibility for the teaching of Religious Education, teachers must provide evidence of having obtained an appropriate teaching qualification in Catholic Religious Education. The award of a Catholic Teachers Certificate to mark the successful completion of this programme will be accepted in all Dioceses as fulfilling the requirements for obtaining “an appropriate teaching qualification in Catholic Religious Education”.

However, you should note that this does not negate the requirement to obtain approval of their religious belief and character prior to appointment.
