This program is a double degree for students wishing to enter the profession of teaching with specialisation in secondary education. 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 prepares preservice teachers for teaching a range of secondary education curriculum areas, one of which will be Mathematics A, B and C to Year 12. The six terms of study in the second curriculum area can come from any appropriate discipline area.
Curriculum subject areas are offered depending on availability of appropriate curriculum studies in the discipline degree and the availability of pedagogical studies in the Learning Management degree.
Graduates are eligible to apply for teaching positions with employers including Education Queensland, Catholic Education and independent schools.
The double degrees will consist of 36 courses as follows:
