About the course

PGCE Secondary (Physics with Maths) will train you to become a physics and maths teacher across the 11-16 or 11-18 age range, and being qualified to teach both these shortage subjects will increase your employability. 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 Institute of Physics. 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.
