Course Overview

During our PGCE Secondary Science (Biology), you’ll study the latest teaching theory and how to apply this in practice. Find out how to spark your pupils’ curiosity about the world around them while building their practical and analytical skills.

You’ll develop in-depth subject knowledge in your specialism in biology. We’ll also make sure you’re prepared to support teaching chemistry and physics, especially at key stage 3. Throughout the course, we’ll encourage you to reflect on your learning to help you become the best biology teacher you can be.

Boost your skills in lesson planning, managing the classroom, teaching methods, and more. Then put what you’ve learned into practice in a real classroom. During your 26 weeks on placement, you’ll plan, teach and assess biology lessons with support from your school-based mentor.

We’ll be there for you every step of the way as you work towards taking the lead in the classroom. Turn to your Personal Tutor whenever you need advice or help to overcome hurdles.
