Course summary

PGCE Secondary Science (Chemistry) will train you to become a chemistry teacher across the 11-16 or 11-18 age range. It 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. Experienced teachers will work alongside PGCE tutors, plus visitors from exam boards and the Royal Society of Chemistry. Some sessions are run with the University's science departments to benefit fully from the University's resources, and also with Manchester Museum and the Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester. The structure of our PGCEs includes both school-based and university-based learning. On our secondary PGCEs, around two-thirds of your time will be spent in secondary schools, academies and colleges on placements.
