BA with Honours Professional Education (Secondary, Physics)

The University of Stirling and Forth Valley College have teamed up to offer secondary education courses in physics teaching. You could become a science teacher and inspire the next generation of young scientists. Our physics teaching course allows you to study science to HND level at college before coming to Stirling to learn how to teach physics. We work in close partnership with local authorities, schools, Education Scotland and the General Teaching Council for Scotland to ensure that you are supported throughout your studies to become the best teacher you can be. This course is designed for students who wish to pursue a career in physics teaching, at secondary school level. Taught in collaboration with Forth Valley College, students will spend two years at college studying modules from HND Applied Sciences before participating in two years of initial teacher education at the University of Stirling, alongside chemistry student teachers. The course includes school placements to develop confidence and experience in a classroom environment.
