    About

    Are you an aspiring primary school teacher with an existing degree in another field?

    This course will equip you to teach with provisional registration in WA primary schools after one year of full-time study. You will complete curriculum units in Literacy, Mathematics, Science, the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, as well as units in classroom management.

    A key feature of this course is 55 days of professional experience, which will allow you to make the essential connection between theory and practice whilst building both professional and generic skills in real teaching environments.

    Partnerships between the University and over 1,500 schools and early childhood settings allow you to gain experience in diverse settings including public, metropolitan, rural, regional and remote schools, allowing you to work with children from differing economic, social, ethnic and educational backgrounds.

    This course provides a foundation of Information Technology and Information System skills for entrants with limited IT experience. It also provides opportunities for experienced Information Technology and Systems professionals to enhance and apply their skills within emerging technology driven growth areas.

    You will learn how to apply Information Systems and Technologies in meeting current business needs in a real-world environment by integrating theoretical learnings with the practical application and experiences learnt through working on projects with real clients.

    You will graduate with relevant practical experiences to help you hit the ground running into a successful and exciting career in your chosen field.

    MITS also provides an optional opportunity for high achieving students to qualify to participate in a research project, offering valuable experience for your future career, or potentially being the first step on your path to a PhD.
