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 Computer Science and Bachelor of Education, a student must successfully complete units totalling 204 points, consisting of:
    1. Studies in Education (96 points) including a series of units relating to the theory and practice of education, teaching and curriculum.
    2. Studies in Computer Science (108 points) of specified core units. Students will be required to overload in third year.
  3. Alternate Teaching Specialisation:
    Students may request to substitute the mathematics specialisation with one in a branch of science specialisations; however, in order to meet the Victorian Institute of Teaching (VIT) regulations, they will need to complete an extra 6 point unit of study (i.e. 210 credit points compared with 204 credit points for the mathematics specialisation). An application to the Course Advisor on an individual basis is required.

This is a conceptual outline only. Any queries regarding the course structure should be directed to the Course Advisor or relevant Administrative Officer, Student Services (Pre-service programs).
