Great science teachers tap into the natural curiosity and imaginative thinking of young people. They build a strong foundation of knowledge and inspire a spirit of discovery.

With a shortage of high school science teachers in Australia, there is high demand for educators capable of shaping the next generation of scientists. Our Bachelor of Teaching (Secondary) with Bachelor of Science gives you the skills to take on this stimulating and vital role.

Develop your digital capabilities in our eLearning Program - the first and only one of its kind for Education students in Australia. We will show you how to use your own iPad with pencil and keyboard to its full teaching potential so you can earn Apple Teacher status. You might even do your first year placement in an Apple Distinguished School.

 

What will you do?

You’ll build deep understandings of the subjects you intend to teach, selecting from: 

• Biology
