Victoria Wong is a Senior Lecturer in STEM (science) education in the Graduate School of Education. She researches mathematics in the school science curriculum, science education policy, interdisciplinary work in schools, chemistry education and science teacher education. 

After a degree in chemistry, she qualified as a teacher and taught chemistry and science for 12 years in secondary schools in England, Spain and New Zealand.

In 2004-2005 she was awarded the Royal Society of Chemistry Schoolteacher Fellowship, to focus on writing teaching resources in up-to-date contexts. Following this she became a freelance education consultant, working for organisations such as the Royal Society of Chemistry, the Nuffield Foundation, Gatsby Science Enhancement Programme and SCORE (the Science Community Representing Education).

From 2012-2018 she held a Rosalind Driver Research Scholarship at King’s College London, researching the relationship between school mathematics and science education in the policy sphere and in schools. She taught on the PGCE courses at King’s College London and then the University of Oxford alongside completing her PhD.
