Secondary School Direct (Chemistry) PGCE with QTS

Course Overview

Teaching is an extremely rewarding and challenging career. Our course is designed to provide you with the knowledge, understanding, and skills that you need to be an outstanding teacher. We aim to nurture teachers who are passionate about the development of their own and their pupils' learning. Chemistry is taught in conjunction with Lead Secondary Partnership Schools. The University of Chester Partnership has a rich history of developing highly-skilled, knowledgeable teachers, and has a high employability rate. Our Partnership has to learn at its heart, combined with passion and enthusiasm for teaching and learning. We will provide you with the support you need to become a critically reflective evidence-based practitioner through a combination of academic challenges and school learning. An unusual aspect of the Chester experience is the enrichment module, which will support you in developing your expertise and employability in different educational settings, e.g. nurseries, SEND schools, post-16 provision. Strong pastoral care is a key aspect of ensuring your success on this demanding but fulfilling course.
