PGCE Secondary Science (Physics) in Exeter United Kingdom | University of Exeter

A typical student will have a good degree with at least 50% of the content related to physics, e.g. engineering or astronomy. Equivalent or alternative qualifications are always considered. They will have obtained good GCSE grades in ‘double science’ or in each of the three separate science subjects. They will have a good ‘A’ level grade in physics and ideally in another science subject. Where necessary applicants may be required to complete some subject enhancement before joining the course. We advise all applicants to gain some school-based experience in a state school prior to interview. Although this is not essential it would be an advantage to be able to reflect on any school-based experience or experience working with young people in another context at interview. It is always very helpful to gain an understanding of what being a secondary school biology/science teacher involves through gaining some experience in a secondary school science department. While as standard we normally only accept applicants who meet this criteria, if you have a 2:2 or equivalent, or are coming from a different academic background which is equivalent to degree level, you are welcome to make an application through UCAS for consideration or contact our PGCE Admissions team for more information.
