The Dual degree of Bachelor of Science Bachelor of Education (Secondary) is a four-year program (full-time) for intending secondary school teachers. Students combine studies in Science or Mathematics with both theoretical and practical aspects of education. In the final two years of the program, students develop skills in classroom competence and spend 80 days on supervised teaching practice in allocated secondary schools.
In addition to the senior science teaching area directly related to the Major, students have the option to graduate with an additional senior science teaching area - ‘Investigating Science’.
To meet the NESA accreditation requirements for this teaching area (Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Earth and environmental Science), students must select a specific set of science courses plus the Investigating Science Method. This is outlined in detail below under the ‘Science Major, Method Courses and Elective Requirements’ section.
