Description
The first fully funded and innovative delivery of the PGDE with Masters (PAM) in Chemistry, Maths or Physics, to three of the STEM subjects, began in August 2017, with a cohort of 21 students. The structure of this new route into teaching has opened learning opportunities to people who may not previously considered teaching as a career or been financially able to do so and it is contributing to Scottish Government priority of increasing the STEM teaching workforce. It has also increased income to the university, through the funding of these places.
