Education holds the power to transform lives and shape a better world. We need to inspire the next generation of scientists. Our PGDE will turn your passion for science into a rewarding career in teaching. Teaching jobs are in high demand as UK governments look to recruit more teachers, especially in STEM (Source: TLTP Education, 2025).
Our Professional Graduate Diploma in Education will start your career as a science teacher. You’ll receive high levels of academic and pastoral support and classroom-based experience.
Two school placements will show you how to teach science in secondary schools. You will be supported by school mentors and university-based teacher educators.
You’ll be taught by staff with expertise in educational research and practice in both university and school settings.
Our carefully designed micro-teaching activities will help you practice teaching strategies. These take place in a supportive environment with peers and university staff. This gives you feedback on teaching scenarios to prepare you for your school placement.
