I'm currently studying Business at university. I have an alevel in ICT. When i applied to uni, I wasn't completely sure what career I wanted to do. Now, I'd quite like to be an ICT teacher. Could I get a PGCE in Business or ICT and go on to teach ICT in a secondary school? Or would a Business degree not be relevant enough?

Business degree would not be enough
If you have an A level in ICT, then you may be able to.

If you have a look at this and decide it is still for you, Computer Science is a shortage subject, so I would contact some unis with PGCE programs and ask if they would consider an application from you.

ICT is no longer a curriculum subject- it's now computing/computer science and the syllabuses are quite different. I would look at the new curriculum for this subject to check it is still the sort of thing you want to teach- there is now a lot more emphasis on programing and much less on ICT skills.

You could apply to teach business knowing that most schools require their business teachers to teach KS3 computing which will involve coding etc. However, it isn't hard.
