Need a solution? ... A Maths Enhancement Course!
The MEC is designed to open up fresh opportunities for careers in Secondary Mathematics teaching to a large number of graduates of all ages who will previously have been ineligible because of their first degree choice of subject.
The MEC aims to enhance the breadth and depth of knowledge and understanding of mathematics, so as to enable participants to go on to achieve successful completion of a Secondary Mathematics ITT route, whether via PGCE or GTP.
The MEC runs from early January to early July. It contains around 500 hours of tutor-led studies, including 12 days of placement in a partnership secondary school to undertake specific tasks. Most MEC weeks involve 4 campus or school-based days, plus one day of directed study. Exceptions are directed study weeks at both school half-terms and for two weeks at Easter.
