About

Highlights

Bring your passion for STEM to the teaching profession and inspire the next generation
A shortage of qualified STEM teachers means you’ll be in demand when you graduate
Specialise in an area of science in which you are most interested
Undertake professional experience placements in schools to prepare you to become a teacher.

You may have heard the statistic – 75% of future careers will depend on STEM skills. To equip our future generations for those future careers, we need teachers to help impart the knowledge and provide the skills needed to succeed.

This course provides a unique opportunity to gaining a depth of understanding in chemistry, before progressing to your teaching qualification. You'll learn how to think—not what to think. This will provide you with skillset, as a teacher, to encourage your students to question, explore and research throughout their studies and inspire the next generation of STEM leaders.
