PGCE Secondary - Physics at Durham University

[email protected]


Develop the skills to teach young learners about the workings of the physical world and equip them with the knowledge to connect scientific concepts to their surroundings.


From planning engaging lessons and preparing a stimulating learning environment to motivating pupils and monitoring their progress, the PGCE Secondary – Physics equips you with the skills to inspire a curiosity about the physical world. So, whether you’re teaching about the atomic nucleus or the observable Universe, the techniques developed in the course will help you make physics accessible to pupils of all backgrounds.


The course qualifies you to become a secondary teacher for the 11 to 16 age range and provides training for Key Stages Three & Four. Successful completion of the PGCE leads to a Postgraduate Certificate in Education awarded by Durham University and the recommendation for Qualified Teacher Status. The QTS element is accredited by Newcastle University and awarded by the Department of Education.


We pride ourselves on offering a well-planned blend of research and experience in the classroom to start you on your successful career as an Early Career Teacher. We emphasise your entitlement to the Core Content Framework throughout our PGCE course to fully prepare you for the Early Career Framework, which will support you during your first two years of teaching as an Early Career Teacher.


The University-based sessions focus on a weekly specific pedagogical theme, integrated with sessions devoted to your subject specialism, delivered by subject specialists in the University and the school partnership.


The Professional Studies sessions explore your understanding of critical concepts and classroom practice, allowing you to reflect on your teacher identity and progress as a developing teacher.


Please note that the course does not run to standard university terms. It is delivered full-time, starting in early September and continues over 10 months.


The School of Education's students graduate with a broad range of transferable skills which open the door to careers across a wide range of sectors in the education sector and beyond.


Our BA in Primary Education offers the opportunity to gain Qualified Teacher Status with most graduates progressing directly into teaching. Graduates of the BA in Education Studies degrees move into a diverse range of roles including educational research, publishing, education administration, policy making and management as well as roles in the commercial or public sector. Some students choose further study, progressing to doctoral programmes, while others choose a Masters degree or a PGCE in Primary or Secondary Education.
