(Hons) Chemistry with Education

Overview

The programme has been developed in collaboration with the University’s School of Education. 

This School works closely with primary and secondary schools, creating a curriculum and mode of teaching that is in line with employer expectations. As part of the degree, there may be the opportunity to undertake a teaching placement with a local school in addition to other educational experiences. Students are responsible for their own travel, accommodation, and general living costs when undertaking these placements.

The (Hons) Chemistry with Education course at University of Lincoln is designed to encourage a collaborative approach with students engaging with one another, academics and teachers. This can support critical reading, debate, reflection on experience and research into topics of interest.

Career

Students who apply to take the PGCE as chemistry teachers can receive bursaries from the government, subject to meeting qualifying criteria. Chemistry graduates may also pursue a wide range of science-related careers in sectors including energy, petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and consumer and personal care products.
