Course Overview

Brunel PGCE in Secondary Education (Science with Biology) aims to facilitate your transformation into a well-educated, confident, and motivated science educator, helping all pupils become scientifically literate citizens. Along with English and mathematics, science is one of the three core subjects of the national curriculum and since all pupils have to study abroad, a balanced curriculum in science there is a demand for well-qualified and skilled biology teachers. As a secondary school biology teacher, you will have to build upon and sustain pupils interest in the subject as they journey through the biology national curriculum. The need for qualified, enthusiastic teachers with an understanding of the demands society places on young people has never been greater. The opportunity to educate children and young people, and learn from them in return, is immensely rewarding. Schools are seeking teachers with high levels of pedagogical competence and skill, as well as advanced subject knowledge for teaching as well as knowledge of the theories, policies, and systems relevant to education. The focus of your studies will be on the principles and methods of teaching and learning delivered through three core modules, together with compulsory, practical school-based teaching placements. Your progress will be assessed in both areas.
