    You will learn the skills and develop the knowledge to teach adolescent students from Years 7-12 in the major and sub-major subjects of your choice. You will have the opportunity to develop a broad and coherent body of knowledge through the following three components of the program:

    • curriculum studies – includes courses that introduce and consolidate the specific teaching content of your major and sub-major learning areas
    • professional experience courses – placement courses, which allow you to develop and practice your professional knowledge and skills in secondary classroom settings
    • education studies – includes courses that explore more broadly what it means to be an educator of adolescent students

    Your studies will culminate in a Graduate Teacher Performance Assessment, where you will be able to reflect on your developing professional understanding and practice as a new teacher. This reflection will be an invaluable resource to support continuous improvement in your teaching.

    You will also be expected to participate in professional experience in secondary school settings. Placements are taken on a continuous full-time basis at designated times during the year, as organised by the University in partnership with the schooling sectors.
