Enrol on one of our Chemistry courses and you will be given access to the same modules in Physics and Biology. We understand the requirement for most science teachers to teach all three sciences at GCSE. For this reason, we offer free access to the resources in the corresponding sciences.
You are assessed in Chemistry with optional modules in Physics and Biology. Just for good measure we also add optional Maths modules!
You will enjoy access to all of this for two further years following completion of your course.

Eligibility and enrolling on a course
DfE funding for SKE courses in Chemistry has been withdrawn in March 2026. No further funded SKE courses are available even if your ITT offer predates the withdrawal of the SKE funding.
