Summary

Education holds the power to transform lives and shape a better world. We need to inspire the next generation of scientists. Our PGDE will turn your passion for science into a rewarding career in teaching. Teaching jobs are in high demand as UK governments look to recruit more teachers, especially in STEM (Source: TLTP Education, 2025). Our Professional Graduate Diploma in Education will start your career as a science teacher. You’ll receive high levels of academic and pastoral support and classroom-based experience.
