    Hello Everyone! I'd really appreciate help on this because I have to decide on which subject to major in very soon. I'm studying Film and Religion and I'm thinking about majoring in Religion, but not sure.

    The religion course I'm doing allows me to teach in 2nd level, but I heard you can't teach with just one subject! SO, can I do anything about this? I love history and was wondering if there was a post grad i could do in history that would allow me to teach history in secondary school along side relgion? And if so, how do I go about teaching from there? Do I need another teaching certificate?

    Thank you so much for your help.:eek:

    You'll probably have to do another degree. Both Religion and History are very hard subjects to get jobs in.

    You could study history with the open university. Again make sure the teaching council recognises the modules you take.

    The OU only have two degrees currently that are recognised by the TC, one in Maths and the other in Chemistry. I know you can take specific modules with OU to make up credits for a subject but I'd say history is not one of those subjects as they do not offer modules in Irish history, and I have a feeling that you would probably need some module in Irish history as part of the degree. Probably better off checking out the Oscail option for history.

    Check with the TC first of course.
