    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?

    It's considered progression, so you can apply for SUSI.

    The income rates for postgraduate courses can be found here

    Standard rate is €2000, special rate is Maximum of €6,270. To qualify special rate you must meet certain criteria
