Overview

If you’re looking for a career where you can inspire, motivate, and make a difference to the lives of young people, teaching is for you.

At University of East Anglia, we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we’ll support you in exploring a range of pedagogical strategies so you can meet the needs of your pupils and develop your own teaching style.

They’ll help you gain insight into how pupils learn and what motivates them. You’ll understand how pupils engage with science—specialising in Biology—and discover how to support their learning effectively. You’ll also develop strategies to make science learning challenging, stimulating, and rewarding.

With the Secondary Science (Specialising In Biology) programme offered by University of East Anglia, you’ll learn how to use practical work and demonstrations to inspire your pupils in our purpose-built laboratories, which model secondary school science labs. Throughout the course, you’ll also explore a variety of outdoor activities and Biology field trips.

You might go to the North Norfolk coast to explore sand dunes and salt marsh ecology or visit the seal and seabird colonies on Blakeney Point.
