As a chemistry teacher, you’ll transform your existing knowledge of how matter works into a format which can be understood by and spark the interest of secondary school pupils. You’ll also train to teach general science, comprising physics, biology and chemistry, to lower school pupils.
One of the highlights of the PGDE course for many student teachers is attending the residential Scottish Universities’ Science School (SUSS), where you will meet student teachers of science from other Scottish Universities. SUSS offers an excellent opportunity to begin networking with other future science teachers.
