Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Education (Secondary)

Summary

People with skills in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) are in demand across the globe. Preparing the next generation of talented workers requires teachers who can inspire a love of STEM. High-quality teachers are important role models – guiding students during what can be an exciting and challenging time in their lives.

In the Bachelor of Science component of this degree, you’ll combine a major in the discipline of your first teaching subject with a second science teaching subject. The Bachelor of Education (Secondary) component provides you with the equivalent of two years full-time professional study. You’ll be taught by academics who are researching the latest approaches to teaching, learning and science.
