Secondary PGCE with QTS (11-19) (Provider-led) (Science with Physics) (Taught)

As a physics teacher, you will share your knowledge and enthusiasm with secondary school pupils and promote an interest in science. Begin your training at Greenwich.

If you love physics and want to share that curiosity, our PGCE Science with Physics might be ideal for you. This course combines expert training and hands-on teaching experience with personalised support to help you become a confident and inspiring science teacher.

You’ll learn how to make physics come alive in the classroom, from demonstrating the principles of motion and energy to helping students understand the science behind the universe. You’ll also build your knowledge across other science subjects, preparing you to teach Key Stages 3 and 4 (ages 11–16).

Our experienced tutors and dedicated school mentors will help you connect theory with practice and develop your own unique teaching style. You’ll explore everything from curriculum design and assessment to inclusive and adaptive teaching, ensuring you’re ready to inspire every learner.

We also work closely with the Institute of Physics (IOP), giving you access to specialist workshops, resources and professional networks that strengthen your subject knowledge and your confidence in the classroom.

“Subject tutors are credible and knowledgeable in their fields. Trainees are given ample opportunity to put their learning into practice through the ongoing school-based element of their course. This ensures that trainee teachers make a highly confident start to their careers in teaching.” - Ofsted, 2023

By the end of the course, you’ll gain both Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and a PGCE, opening doors to a rewarding teaching career with the opportunity to shape the future of science education.
