Course Overview

• The course allows you to explore Chemistry in depth and gradually moves from an emphasis on the acquisition of subject knowledge and its applications in Year One and Year Two to an emphasis on the pedagogical and professional knowledge and understanding required by an effective subject specialist teacher in the final year.

• The course design combines the essential elements required to prepare you to become a successful Early Career Teacher (ECT). These are advanced subject knowledge at the undergraduate level; knowledge of how children learn and are taught; specialist knowledge required to teach the chosen school subject and experience of being a practitioner in secondary schools.
