I may do badly in my A-level but still want to be a teacher
To keep it brief, i had some issues, unfortunately not any which university would give me any lenience on, and i expected to get a C/B in spanish, D/E in politics (or even a U) and a U in geography.
There are some options that i have been locking at such as Keele foundation year for sociology or same course at York St John.
If i managed to get a 2:1, would i be able to become a teacher?

Hi @harmando,
As the previous poster mentioned, foundation degrees can be a great option to consider. We offer a range of education courses with a foundation year, which might be a good fit for you. After completing the foundation year, you can typically progress to any BA degree in the same field.
Remember, these are just predictions and don’t define who you are. Focus on doing your best in the exams—you might just surprise yourself with the results! 🙂
Here are some options to consider if you’re interested:

It doesn't matter where you get your degree, or how you get there, teaching is still very much available as a career. For PGCE entry all that matters is that you have a degree (and a 2:2 is often still accepted), and no future employer will actually care where you originally went to Uni.
