Course summary

The PGCE Physics with Mathematics at Kings prepares trainees to become thoughtful, creative and engaging teachers, through understanding both the research which underpins and advances science teaching, and a wide range of practical approaches. The course is taught by an internationally recognised science education group with over three decades of acclaimed research.

Key benefits

  • PGCE courses at Kings are rated Outstanding by Ofsted. One reason is the strong research base which informs the course. In the last research assessment exercise, the department was rated as the leading education institution for research in London (REF, 2021).
  • A working partnership with a broad range of schools in London and beyond, providing unique opportunities to learn how to teach diverse groups of students.
  • Preparing students to teach outside the classroom: there is a residential field-trip and several other opportunities to make best use of what London has to offer the science teacher.
  • Across all PGCE subjects, 92% of our PGCE trainees who applied for teaching posts after graduation were employed as Early Career Teachers (ECTs) at schools in the UK and abroad (JISC Graduate Outcomes Survey 2024).
  • Two assessed pieces of coursework give you 60 Masters-level credits – a third of an MA – which puts you well on the way to a Masters degree in your chosen profession.

Employability

The majority of trainees go into teaching or other areas of education many become heads of departments or members of senior management teams some take up careers in educational administration in the advisory or inspection services.
