Notes:
  1. To be eligible to graduate from the course students must have completed a minimum of 80 days of satisfactory teaching practice.
  2. To receive the awards of Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Education, a student must successfully complete units totalling 204 points, consisting of:
    1. Studies in education (108 points), a series of units relating to the theory and practice of education, teaching and curriculum. Fieldwork placements are also included.
      • In order to meet the prerequisites for Teaching Specialisms, students must select Major/Minor Science discipline sequences from the following 'fields of study': Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Computer Science, Geography, Geosciences (only if a major/minor/part in Biology, Chemistry or Physics is also completed), Mathematics, Physics, or Psychology.
      • To meet the minimum requirements for General Science as a Teaching Specialism students must select a Major or Minor sequence in any of: Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Geosciences or Physics together with a part (two units) in Biology, Chemistry, Geosciences or Physics.
    2. Studies in science (96 points),
