I am thinking of becoming a teacher

IOP Teacher Training Scholarships

Physics teaching is one of the most challenging and fulfilling careers you could consider. And our schools need more specialist physics teachers than ever before. 

We have plenty of information to help you make an informed decision on becoming a physics teacher, from the training options available, how to apply and what we can do to support you.

From September 2012, you can choose from two routes to become a physics teacher. Either study for a physics with science PGCE. Or apply for the brand new physics with maths PGCE.

And what’s more, find out about our brand new and exclusive Teacher Training Scholarships programme, which is open for applications.
