    I'm just about to finish my B.Sc in Science in Donegal and I am wondering what steps I can take from here in order to teach science at secondary school level at either side of the border.

    You need to do a two-year masters degree, called a Professional Master of Education (PME). Once completed you can teach post-primary in Ireland and the EU.

    Do you know if Susi will pay fees for this after they have paid for my degree?
