By offering a thorough grounding in chemistry along with the intellectual and research skills needed for a career in teaching, this course aims to develop students with the skills to teach the next generation about the fundamental importance of chemistry. The programme has been developed in collaboration with the University's School of Education. This School works closely with primary and secondary schools, creating a curriculum and mode of teaching that is in line with employer expectations. As part of the degree, there may be the opportunity to undertake a teaching placement with a local school in addition to other educational experiences. Students are responsible for their own travel, accommodation, and general living costs when undertaking these placements. 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.
