Compulsory Placement Courses

Students are required to complete 80 days of supervised practicum and 40 days of internship over the 4 years of the program. 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. Rural scholarships are available from the School of Education to assist with travel and accommodation costs.

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.

A student is required to obtain #64 from the Bachelor of Education (Middle Years of Schooling) list.

Students can undertake the program on a part time basis. However for periods of practicum placement, it is necessary for students to be substantially free during the day to meet practicum requirements. The final semester of the program requires full time attendance.
