Teaching secondary science and biology with a zoology degree

I'm starting a zoology degree at uni this year and am looking into doing secondary science teaching specialising in biology after my degree. I have looked at entry requirements for PGCE's in this area and it says you need a relevant degree to your chosen subject. It would be good to have people's opinions on whether you think zoology is relevant enough? I was thinking it is as it is a biological science; just wondered what you thought. Thanks!

I know it's not the same thing but I had a teacher for A-Level Human Bio who originally had a Zoology degree however she shared the units with another teacher who had a Human Bio degree, one did the 'human' side and the other did the ecology etc side of it :smile:

I don't know if it's the same for secondary school biology though

Hi, i got an information booklet through from the TDA and there was a profile of a teacher in there and he had studied a degree in zoology and then went on to teach secondary science. So i think you should be ok.
There is alot of information on the TDA website, check it out, you might find in useful.
