Engineers Teach Physics (Taught)

PGCE Secondary – Engineers Teach Physics will train you to become a Physics or Physics with Maths teacher across the 11 to 16 or 11 to 18 age range. You will be trained to teach across all sciences up to KS3 and KS4/KS5 level in your specialism (Physics, or Physics with Maths).

The course will prepare you to teach the National Curriculum and related national strategies, GCSE and A-level. Completion leads to both a postgraduate qualification and recommendation for qualified teacher status (QTS).

University-based sessions will enable you to reflect on teaching methods and engage critically with the Science curriculum, including where relevant, drawing on your experience in Engineering.

Experienced teachers will work alongside PGCE tutors, plus visitors from exam boards and the Institute of Physics.

Some sessions are run with the University's science departments to benefit fully from the University's resources, and with Manchester Museum and the Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester.
