Study Details: PGCE 9 months full-time
Everything we do in our life involves science. It has enabled mankind to achieve more than we ever thought possible, from walking on the moon and conquering disease, to producing fantastic fireworks displays. Through science education, children learn to develop their curiosity through exploration of the world around them.
Biology helps students understand the bigger picture and connects us to the world in which we live. It develops an understanding of complex forms of humans, animals and plants as well as developing an awareness of the interaction between humanity and the world.
Chemistry enables us to produce all of the materials we commonly use in everyday life: toothpaste, cosmetics, cleaning products, fertilisers to name but a few. Understanding chemistry is the key to many other aspects of science, such as climate science, geology and forensics.
Where would we be without an understanding of Physics? This aspect of science has saved countless lives through the development of devices such as MRI scanners and laser surgery. Without an understanding of physics, we would not have any of the modern technology on which we depend today.
For this course, you need an Honours Degree with a 2:2 classification in a Physics related degree with at least half of the content related to Physics and a GCSE grade C/4 or above in both English Language and Mathematics, we also expect you to be confident in technology.
Applicants will be expected to teach Physics across all relevant key stages as well as Biology and Chemistry at KS3 and possibly KS4, so an additional qualification in one or both of these subjects is highly desirable.
After you apply, we’ll arrange a selection interview. During the interview process we will assess your subject knowledge and personal qualities, such as communication skills, resilience for teaching, and how easy you’ll find it to relate to secondary age students.
If you accept a formal offer, you’ll need to meet the Department for Education’s standards for physical and mental fitness to teach and you’ll need clearance to work with children (Enhanced DBS).

With a PGCE and Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), you’ll be ready to teach Physics in secondary schools across England.
Most of our graduates secure their first teaching position while on the PGCE, with many of them securing roles within our partnership schools.
After you’ve completed this course, you can join our Masters in Education. Your PGCE gives you Masters credits which means you’ll be fast tracked and can complete this course by the end of your second year of teaching.
