Study Details: Full Time (1 years)
We offer our students an exceptional training experience – if you’re looking for a lifelong, challenging and exciting career, teaching may be for you.
The Biology subject knowledge programme aims to support and develop you to become a confident and competent educator. As a part of our distinctive and ambitious curriculum you will understand and apply knowledge of:
Science Capital
Science in Society
Science Outside the Classroom
Health & Safety processes
Subject sessions will take part in a laboratory classroom, to encourage modelling of classroom teaching skills and active exploration and trialling of common Enquiry Types. You will explore how to teach key concepts of Biology through exploring ways in which the curriculum can be taught. You will explore strategies to decolonise the science curriculum and embed Sustainability issues, while appreciating how young people develop key concepts over time, identified within statutory guidance and GCSE specifications.
An honours degree, normally at 2.2 or above (or equivalent) in a relevant subject.
If you do not hold a 2.2 or above, we may be able to consider your application but will require additional information.
If you do not hold a degree in a relevant subject we will be able to consider your application if you have other qualifications, such as A Levels or postgraduate qualifications in the subject.
Our vision is for all of our students to become graduate ambassadors for education, leaders of learning, outstanding teachers and subject experts.
Employment rates have been consistently high for graduates and we offer you the opportunity to gain Master’s credits which count towards a full Master’s degree. This can be used to take your career in secondary education to the next level at a subsequent time.
