Program aim
This program is a double degree enabling students to qualify as professional physicists or teachers with specialisation in secondary education (see the Student Dictionary for definition of a double degree, available from http://www.cqu.edu.au/students/index.htm). 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.
Career options
Teacher - secondary with specialised physics, science and mathematical areas, physicist
Program structure
- 20 courses from the Bachelor of Applied Physics program,
- 18 courses from the Bachelor of Learning Management (Secondary) program.
This degree enables students to obtain 16 term courses of study in Physics and the equivalent of 6 terms of study in Mathematics; i.e. students have 2 teaching areas to Year 12.
