Bachelor in Mathematics Teaching

Mathematics Teaching prepares students to teach mathematics at the secondary school level, pairing substantial mathematics coursework with training in pedagogy, curriculum design, and classroom practice. Mathematics coursework typically spans calculus, algebra, geometry, probability and statistics, and discrete mathematics, while education coursework covers learning theory, instructional methods, assessment design, and classroom management, usually including supervised teaching practice in schools. Students learn to break down mathematical concepts for secondary students, design lessons and activities that build conceptual understanding, and use assessment to gauge and support student learning. Graduates work as mathematics teachers in secondary schools, with the training also supporting roles in curriculum development, educational materials design, and tutoring, and further study available in mathematics education or general education. This bachelor's program in Mathematics Teaching is offered by Boğaziçi University in İstanbul, Turkey, with a duration of 4 years, and instruction is delivered in English. Training future teachers in English builds the language proficiency needed to teach in English-medium schools, a substantial part of the secondary education landscape in İstanbul and Turkey more broadly, while also keeping graduates connected to English-language mathematics education research and materials. İstanbul's large school system, including many English-medium and international schools, offers a relevant setting for the program's teaching practice placements and subsequent employment. The program suits students who combine an aptitude for mathematics with an interest in teaching, offering focused preparation for secondary classroom careers.
