Upon successfully completing the B.Ed (Secondary Teaching), graduates may apply for registration to teach a Major teaching area and a Minor Teaching area at the secondary school level. Students will study both areas concurrently within the Bachelor of Education. The Bachelor of Education course learning outcomes address both AQF Level 7 and the Graduate Teacher Standards established by the Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership (AITSL), the professional standards for initial registration as a teacher in Australia.

As a result of this course students will develop a broad and coherent body of knowledge and skills, an underlying understanding of principles and concepts for their professional practice as a teacher and/or for another professional role in education.

Selection of Major Teaching Area and Minor Teaching Area options are limited to the following areas/subjects in secondary schools:

Major Teaching Areas: English, Humanities and Social Sciences (Geography and Business and Enterprise; History; OR Politics) Mathematics (Advanced Mathematics OR Mathematics) Health and Physical Education (Must be combined with General Science Minor Teaching area) Science (Biology and Environmental Science, Biology and Human Biology, Physical Sciences must be combined with Mathematics Minor Teaching area), Earth and Environmental Science.

Minor Teaching Areas: Secondary Education Support, English, Humanities and Social Sciences, Mathematics, Science (Biological Science, Physical Sciences, Earth and Environmental Science, Physics), General Science (for Health & Physical Education students only) .

Advice about suitable teaching areas/subjects may be obtained from the Academic Chair (Secondary).

Professional Experience: There are 80 days of mentored teaching practice in this course.

This course requires students to undertake work-based training through a compulsory work-based placement as part of their studies.
