Chemistry Subject Knowledge Enhancement Course
A route into chemistry teaching for non-specialists
Good chemistry teachers are in very short supply. However, there are many enthusiastic graduates with the potential to be specialist chemistry teachers but who are insufficiently qualified to enter straight into initial teacher training with chemistry as their specialism.
Subject knowledge enhancement courses are intensive programmes for graduates who want to teach chemistry but whose degree is not in chemistry or whose specialist subject knowledge needs deepening prior to training for qualified teacher status (QTS). The University of East London has designed this six month (24 week) chemistry subject knowledge enhancement course, funded by the National College for Teaching and Leadership, to equip you with the skills and subject knowledge to teach science to 11-18 years olds, with chemistry as your specialism. Upon completion of the course successful students will continue on to initial teacher training. You do not have to study for a PGCE at UEL to join this course.
Course dates
The next Chemistry Subject Knowledge Enhancement Course will run from January - July 2013 (24 weeks). Upon successful completion of the course, students will move onto their chosen programme of Initial Teacher Training (PGCE, GTP or SCITT) at UEL or another training provider in September 2012.
How to apply
Before applying to this course it is important that you meet the eligibility and entry requirements for the course.
