Strands

Two Senior Years Teaching Areas

This strand in the Bachelor of Education (Secondary), Bachelor of Arts focuses on teaching students who are in secondary years. During their secondary years young people develop their plans for post-secondary education and work. As secondary teachers, graduates of this four-year pre-service qualification will play a key role in developing the knowledge, skills and resources that young people need to meet their goals.

This strand allows pre-service teachers to pursue a teaching specialisation in more depth and deepen their understanding in topics and issues of personal interest.  Graduates from this strand will be qualified to teach in at least two different school curriculum areas at secondary school level. The school curriculum subjects that are offered in the strand are:

English, Drama, Visual Arts, Health Education, Information Technology, Science, Biology, Earth Science, Mathematics, Languages other than English, Geography, History, Legal Studies, Psychology and Business Studies.

One Senior Teaching Area and Two Middle Years Teaching Areas

Alternatively, the double degree Bachelor of Education (Secondary), Bachelor of Arts can effectively develop the specialist knowledge and skills required for teachers to teach the senior years area to Year 12 and two areas to Year 10.

As part of the double degree program teacher education students will focus on preparing to teach in three different learning areas selected from the following:

Humanities and Social Sciences, Information and Design Technology, Drama, English, Visual Arts, Science, Mathematics, and Languages other than English. 

Credit

Limited credit may be granted for recognition of prior studies undertaken at the University or other approved tertiary institutions. Further information is available on this page.
