Introduction

Bachelor of Science with Education (B.Sc.Ed.) is a programme
designed to provide students with opportunities to become qualified
physics, chemistry, biology, or mathematics teachers at the
secondary and pre-university levels. The programme will provide
students with solid grounding in physics, chemistry, biology or
mathematics content knowledge. Students will also be provided
with the pedagogical knowledge and skills to professionally prepare
them to become effective classroom teachers.

The programme had been recently reviewed to ensure the
curriculum will prepare students to adapt to the 21 century
st
challenges of teaching science or mathematics. Students will get

and Education Minor Courses (37 credits).

Apart from the lectures in the Science Major Courses, students will
be posted to schools to undergo professional preparation as school
teachers in the Education Minor Courses. Students get to choose
to specialize to become either a physics, chemistry, biology or
mathematics teachers that are qualified to teach not only at public
