Mathematics Enhancement Course (MEC), Short Course Programme

The Mathematics Enhancement Course (MEC) will develop your mathematical knowledge and enable you to undertake a PGCE or School Direct Training Programme and train for a career in secondary Mathematics teaching.

The MEC is a 28-week course designed for graduates with a degree in a subject other than Mathematics who wish to train as secondary Mathematics teachers.

The course is intended to support graduates as they develop their breadth and depth of mathematical knowledge before they begin an initial teacher training course (ITT) which would lead to Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). It is designed to support the development of the subject knowledge required for teaching Mathematics in secondary schools and develop communication skills and the awareness of the nature of teaching and learning of secondary Mathematics.
