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;
• Mathematics to Year 12.

Subject areas are offered depending on availability of discipline studies in that area and Education staff to teach the curriculum area.

The Physics strand of the Bachelor of Applied Physics/Bachelor of Learning Management (Secondary) has come from the Bachelor of Applied Physics program. Students in the double degree program selecting Level 3/4 Applied Science courses are advised to do so in consultation with the Program Advisor.
