Subject Knowledge Enhancement Courses
Good chemistry, maths, modern languages, physics and computer science teachers are in very short supply. However, there are many enthusiastic graduates with the potential to be specialist teachers but who are do not have a 'relevant' degree to enter straight into initial teacher training.
Subject knowledge enhancement courses are intensive programmes for graduates who want to teach chemistry, maths, modern languages, physics or computer science but whose degree is not a direct match or whose specialist subject knowledge needs deepening prior to training for qualified teacher status (QTS).
The University of East London has designed a six month (24 week) subject knowledge enhancement courses for chemistry, maths, physics and computer science; and a 16 week course for French & Spanish.
They are funded by the National College for School Leadership, to equip you with the skills and subject knowledge to teach 11-18 years olds, with chemistry, mathematics, modern languages, physics or computer science as your specialism.
Upon successful completion of the course, students will continue on to initial teacher training at UEL or another training provider.
