Physics Subject Knowledge Enhancement Course
A route into physics teaching for non-specialists
Good physics teachers are in very short supply. However, there are many enthusiastic graduates with the potential to be specialist physics teachers but who are insufficiently qualified to enter straight into initial teacher training with physics as their specialism. The Physics Subject Knowledge Enhancement Course at UEL is designed to enable more people to become physics teachers.
Subject knowledge enhancement courses are intensive programmes for graduates who want to teach physics but whose degree is not in physics 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) physics 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 physics as your specialism. Upon completion of the course successful students will continue on to initial teacher training at UEL or another training provider.
Course dates
The next Physics Subject Knowledge Enhancement Course will run from January - July 2012 (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.
