Train to Teach Chemistry: Inspire the Scientists of Tomorrow

Why Teach Science with us?

Our science courses are about more than just lab coats and beakers; they’re about helping students understand the amazing world around them. As a Chemistry specialist, you’ll be stretched to share your expert knowledge with students aged 11–16.

You won't just be a chemist, you’ll be expected to teach all three sciences, giving you a well-rounded start to your career.

If you’re an independent thinker who wants a career with social responsibility at its heart, we want to hear from you
