Master of Science [M.Sc] [Construction Management] From University of Brighton

In the Secondary Education (QTS) - Science - Physics programme offered by the University of BirminghamÊyou will be challenged to develop informed and justified decisions about how you approach your teaching, in order to enable you to continue to develop over your career. You will be expected to develop these insights, although in less depth, across all facets of the sciences.

We offer a Postgraduate Diploma in Education (PGDipEd) rather than a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE)Êat the University of Birmingham, asÊwe believe we should provide student teachers with the highest level of teacher training possible. Both qualifications lead to Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) but the PGDipEd also offers the equivalent of 120 credits at MasterÕs level (out of 180), which makes it a highly rewarding course by combining both theory and practice.

The School of Education at the University of Birmingham has a long tradition of delivering teacher training courses. Its teaching has been graded as 'outstanding' for the third consecutive time by Ofsted inspectors which reaffirms the UniversityÕs status as one of the UKÕs leading institutions for excellence in teacher training.Ê

There is currently high demand for teachers of Science who have expertise in Physics and there are substantial bursaries associated with training in the subject.

Careers

Extensive career support is available to and the majority of students obtain employement before they have completed their course. Many schools have a high regard for Birmingham Science: Physics PGDipEd (QTS) students and we have an excellent record of students gaining jobs at the end of the course.Ê

Many of our ex-students have been promoted to positions of responsibility, including Advanced Skills Teachers within the first 2 or 3 years.
