Physics Teacher Training Scholarships

Job description

Could you use your physics knowledge to change the world for the better? Are you ready to inspire future generations of physicists with your passion for physics?

An Institute of Physics (IOP) teacher training scholarship could help you start an exciting new career as a physics teacher. We are awarding 175 scholarships for 2025-2026, giving you the support you need to succeed and stand out.

With an IOP scholarship, you receive:

• Support to develop your physics teaching skills including Continuing Professional Development (CPD) workshops and online events as well as any face-to-face events taking place throughout the year, as well as access to a skilled mentor.
• Online networking opportunities, and occasionally face-to-face events with your fellow scholars
• Free IOP membership throughout your teacher training year. This includes full access to our in-house magazine Physics World, invitations to local branch meetings and free journal downloads.

The scholarships are funded by the Department for Education in partnership with The Institute of Physics.
