STEM SUBJECTS
Woodchurch High School, a Church of England academy, has a fully planned and integrated careers education and work related learning programme.
What are STEM subjects?
STEM stands for: Science. Technology. Engineering. Maths.
At school the list of STEM subjects is pretty big:
- Biology
- Chemistry
- Physics
- Design and technology
- Maths
- Information and communications technology (IT or ICT)
- Computer science
- Economics
- Geography
STEM subjects are important because they form the basis of a huge number of careers. Some of these jobs might be obvious – like research scientist, doctor, engineer and accountant. But others – such as software developer, pilot, architect – are not so obvious.
That’s why it’s so important to think carefully about your career plans when choosing your GCSEs and A-levels. STEM subjects also give you loads of transferable skills which you can apply in any career.
There is much activity that takes place in school around promoting the SEM subjects, please see the Careers Plan for the year, as well as under ‘Subject Resources’ and ‘Subject Skills’.
