  • DeadlineStudy Details:

    PGCE: 1 year full-time

Course Description

Accredited by the National College for Teaching and Leadership (NCTL) and the Office for Standards in Education, Children’s Services and Skills (Ofsted).

Do you want an enormously rewarding opportunity to help children explore the world around them? Help teach about the exciting world of biology by studying to become a secondary school science teacher! You’ll help students to make sense of their observations as they look at the inner workings of plants, animals and the human form. It’s hard work and can be very challenging, but the satisfaction of teaching your students something new will make it all worthwhile.

Although you will specialise in biology, you will also learn how to teach chemistry and physics. We will show you how to run practical lessons effectively, sharing your ideas while maintaining the interest and enthusiasm of your pupils. We are proud of the high level of practical work in our course, giving you the hands-on experience you need for future employment. Put your knowledge of science to the test by working with young people and inspiring the scientists of tomorrow.

Entry Requirements

A minimum UK 2:2 honours degree or recognised equivalent qualification in biology, chemistry or physics, depending on your chosen specialism, is required. Your degree must contain evidence of a substantial and appropriate level of subject knowledge.
