Chemistry with Education BSc (Hons)

This combined course aims to provide students with the skills to teach the next generation about the wonders of chemistry. The Chemistry with Education programme give students the opportunity to gain a fundamental grounding in chemistry along with the intellectual and research skills needed for a career in teaching. The course has been developed in collaboration with the School of Education, which works closely with both primary and secondary schools. They have developed a curriculum and mode of teaching that is in line with employer expectations. As part of the programme students will undertake teaching placements with local schools. Students are responsible for their own travel, accommodation and general living costs when on placement. The course is designed to encourage a collaborative approach with students engaging with one another, academics and teachers. This can support critical reading, debate, reflection on experience and research into topics of interest.
