This program is a double degree enabling students to qualify as professional physicists or teachers with specialisation in secondary education (see the CQUniversity 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 pre-service teachers to prepare themselves to teach a range of secondary school subjects including:

• Physics to year 12;
• Multi-strand 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.

Students must complete 38 courses/228 units of credit.

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 or 4 applied science courses are advised to do so in consultation with the Program Advisor.
