Undergraduate

Physics with Education

UK University

Overview

Physics with Education is offered widely in the UK, so the useful comparison is between departments rather than between countries. It is a three year undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.

Teaching in Teacher Training is reflective in style, drawing on your own practice throughout the assessments.

Applications open around a year ahead of the intake. Getting the documents together early is what keeps the September date realistic.

Entry requirements

Careers opportunities

Teaching in the United Kingdom is a licensed profession and an academic degree on its own does not qualify you to teach in a state school. Courses split sharply between those that carry qualified teacher status and those that lead to research, policy or work outside the classroom.

Roles graduates go into

  • Teacher, once qualified status is held
  • Teaching assistant or learning mentor
  • Curriculum or programme developer
  • Education officer
  • Policy or research assistant
  • Training and development officer

Where they work

  • Schools and colleges
  • Universities and their outreach teams
  • Local authority education services
  • Educational publishers and technology companies
  • Charities and international development
After the course

Qualified teacher status through a PGCE or School Direct route is the licence to teach in England. A course without it leads to research, policy or the sector outside the classroom.
