Host an undergraduate Physics and Astronomy student in your classroom 

The Undergraduate Ambassador Scheme (UAS) gives Physics and Astronomy students the opportunity to undertake a school or college-based placement. 

Placements introduce our students to the teaching profession. The opportunity helps them in developing skills towards their future careers and determine if they want to consider a teaching career.  

Benefits for teachers:
Students can offer practical help in the classroom, by engaging pupils in their subject and motivating them in their studies. 

The school-based placement should aim to include: 

  • classroom observation 
  • classroom assistance
  •  whole class teaching 
  • involvement in support activities (after school clubs/ revision classes) 
  • the design, implementation and evaluation of a Special Project (produced in collaboration with the teacher)
