Today's students find equal joy in discovering how things function, and as a secondary school physics educator, you'll develop skills to nurture and maintain this curiosity as students progress through the physics curriculum. Teaching both Physics and Mathematics, you'll foster in your students a solid grasp of how physics principles can explain the complex phenomena of our natural world through fundamental concepts with universal applications. We strive to prepare you as a Physics and Math educator who enters each class with deep subject expertise and teaching methods - knowledge that may not always be used but will bolster your confidence and show students they're learning from a capable professional. The demand for passionate, qualified teachers who comprehend modern societal pressures on youth has never been higher. Educating young minds while learning from them in return offers profound fulfillment.
Career Prospects
A Brunel PGCE with Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) represents excellence in Initial Teacher Training (ITT), evidenced by Brunel's consistently high graduate employment rates and positive feedback from alumni, partner schools, and Ofsted inspectors.
Brunel PGCE graduates frequently secure positions in our partner schools, often at institutions where they completed teaching placements. This enables ongoing connections with former students, many of whom return as mentors for current PGCE candidates. Our department maintains an extensive network of alumni who now hold leadership roles in schools nationwide.
