4. Criminology in the Professions
To become a school teacher look at
http://www.education.gov.uk/schools/orhttp://graduates.teachfirst.org.uk/
Orhttp://www.gttr.ac.uk/
Forensic and criminology students can teach science (Biology/chemistry) at secondary level.
Both Forensic and Criminology and single subject Criminology students can get onto primary
teaching courses, or citizenship and RE courses. The other way to get into teaching is via an
enhancement course in subjects that are difficult to fill, such as mathematics and modern
languages. See University of Hull as an example of this:
