The Bachelor of Education (Secondary) provides students with the qualifications to work with students aged from 12 to 17 years in Catholic, Independent and Government schools. As part of your studies, you will complete 32 weeks of school-based practical experience and also choose a Major and specialisation teaching area. Our Bachelor of Education (Secondary) is a well-rounded undergraduate program that combines theory, the latest teaching technology, and plenty of hands-on classroom experience. Working from a rigorous and practical curriculum, you will acquire the academic skills needed to teach secondary school students. In addition, you will be required to choose one major teaching area such as English, History, Geography, Mathematics, Science, Politics or Religious Studies. You will complete eight courses in your chosen major area, plus four courses in your chosen area of specialisation. An integral part of your degree is the 32 weeks of supervised teaching (practicum) experience. This is divided into two weeks of classroom immersion and teacher assistance in your first year, one term with a special focus on your Learning Area Major in both your second and third years, and a final internship in your final year which focuses on both your Learning Area Major and Religious Education – if you have chosen to complete your accreditation to teach Religious Education.
