Why study the Bachelors of Science / Education (Secondary)?

Bachelor of Science/Education students complete two degrees in less time than if each was studied separately. The Bachelor of Science provides the content knowledge for two teaching areas whilst the Bachelor of Education (Secondary) provides the necessary skills, knowledge and practical experiences required for teacher registration and employment.

The Bachelor of Science/Education degree offers a wide range of teaching area (BSc major) options. Students benefit from a thorough preparation for their teaching areas combined with, and informed by, their professional studies in the area of education.

This program has been revised from 2021. Students who commenced in the program from 2021 should refer to the:

Bachelor of Science / Education (Secondary) — 2479.

If you are interested in further information about the revised program structure, please contact the Faculty of Science Student Enquiries Office.

Placement courses

Compulsory Placement Course

Students must complete 10 days school experience and 90 days supervised practicum. Every effort is made to place students within a reasonable distance of their home base but they can be expected to travel up to 90 minutes due to public transport connections and incur costs associated with travel and possible lost income over this period. Students are generally placed at Ipswich, Brisbane, and southeast Queensland and are encouraged to explore the option of a rural placement. Financial assistance may be available to assist with travel and accommodation costs for rural placements.

Students are required to have a current Blue Card (Working with Children Check) before commencing practicum. Students can apply for a Blue Card through the School of Education and should do so three months before their practicum is due to commence. The Teacher Preparation Programs Handbook provides information about practicum and school experience requirements and is available from School of Education.

Honours

Honours is available as an additional year of study.

Graduates will have the opportunity to progress to the following programs:
