Program outline

This program is a double degree for students to enter the profession of teaching with specialisation in secondary science education. (See Terminology for definition of a double degree). 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 science education curriculum areas:

• Biology, Chemistry or Marine Biology to year 12
• Multi-strand science to year 12
• Junior science to year 10
• Mathematics either to years 10 or 12
• other second teaching area to year 10

Curriculum areas are offered depending on the availability of pedagogical studies in education. Graduates are eligible for teaching positions with Education Queensland, Catholic Education and independent schools.

Further program advice

Certain combinations of 6-packs of courses from different teaching areas may have common course elements. Students therefore will need to select appropriate replacement courses in consultation with their science academic program advisor. For example, the following teaching area combinations can be resolved by students enrolling in replacement courses, as follows:

For a Biology/Marine Biology pairing

For a Biology/Multi-strand (Environmental Science)

For a Marine Biology/Multi-strand (Environmental Science)

For a Chemistry/Multi-strand (Biomedical Science) choose two of the following courses:

For a Chemistry/Multi-strand (Forensic Science) choose four advanced level units from the following:
