Bachelor of Science in Physics with Teaching-Hons

There is a shortage of physics teachers across the UK. This 4-years degree is offered in conjunction with The Strathclyde Institute of Education within the Faculty of Humanities and Social Science and it is a qualification designed to prepare graduates to become teachers of physics in secondary schools and fill this gap.

This degree not only covers the same core physics syllabus as the BSc Physics degree but also allows students the time to acquire the educational theory and classroom practice necessary for registration with General Teaching Council recognition.

There is a strong emphasis on laboratory work and this will help you develop a sound understanding of experimental physics and instrumentation.

In your fourth year you will join The Strathclyde Institute of Education and undertake a number of modules designed to prepare you to be a secondary school teacher. This will include a number of placements in schools.
