Bachelor of Teaching (Secondary)
Why study the Bachelor of Teaching (Secondary) at UNE?
This award qualifies graduates to apply for registration as secondary teachers in Australian states and territories, in approved curriculum areas. Secondary candidates are usually required to undertake two curriculum areas. However Music, Mathematics and Science are undertaken as double curriculum units and are not taken with any other teaching area.
Clinical Placement or Practical Experience: All teaching students must complete three practicum units. These experiences are designed to support students in forming their own links between the academic knowledge they develop at the university and the practical knowledge they can observe, model and individually create within the classroom and school.
On-campus students should be aware that placements are not usually possible in the Armidale area. Generally off-campus students are permitted to undertake their practicum in approved schools of their choice.

| Entry Requirements | Students applying to study the Bachelor of Teaching (Secondary) must have a university degree or a three-year diploma acceptable to the Faculty. As a guide, for the first teaching subject area students must have completed three-ninths of background studies at degree level (ie 2 units at 100-level, 2 units at 200-level and 2 units at 300-level). For the second teaching subject area students must have completed two-ninths of background studies at degree level (ie 2 units at 100-level and 2 units at 200-level). Computing and Modern Languages requires three-ninths of a degree of background studies. Music requires three years of degree level study including music theory and performance. Social Science requires two or three-ninths of a degree in a recognised social science subject such as Asian Social Studies, Politics, Sociology or Studies in Religion. Science requires first year Physics or Chemistry and three years of a science related subject as taught in schools. |
| Additional Requirements | Prohibited Employment Declaration and Probity Checks: In response to the New South Wales Department of Education and Training's requirement to meet legal obligations in respect of the Commission for Children and Young People Act 1998, and the Child Protection (Prohibited Employment) Act 1998, the Faculty of Education, Health and Professional Studies has introduced new guidelines regarding students undertaking field experience. All students are required to declare whether they are a prohibited person by completing a Prohibited Employment Declaration with their Student Registration Form. The NSW Department of Education and Training has recently introduced probity (criminal record) checks for all student teachers participating in unsupervised situations with school students. This includes the internship component of this award. Candidates should be aware that they will be subject to probity checks on behalf of potential employers after completing the award and prior to receiving clearance to function as an independent classroom teacher. Probity checks will need to be carried out prior to students undertaking any school experience. |
