To see if a course is acceptable for second level teaching, go to www.teachingcouncil.ie and click on 'List of recognised qualifications' to see if your degree is there.

If it is not there you must apply to have your qualification recognised after you graduate.

The earth sciences degree would also lead to primary teaching as it would gain you entry to the HDip in primary education. Of course you need a HC3 in Leaving Cert Irish or some equivalent qualification in Irish to do primary teaching.
