This program is a double degree enabling students to qualify as professional physicists or teachers with specialisation in secondary education (See the CQU Glossary for definition of a double degree, available from http://www.cqu.edu.au/glossary).

See CA02 for further details of the physics program. It provides students with the opportunity to develop as professional teachers through a comprehensive tertiary program and extensive practical experience in schools and the community. This program enables preservice teachers to prepare themselves to teach a range of secondary school subjects including:

• Physics to Year 12;
• Multistrand Science to Year 12;
• Science to Year 10;
