Thinking about becoming a teacher?

Choose from our wide range of study options that are offered as undergraduate and postgraduate coursework degrees, or higher degree research courses at the master's and doctoral levels.

You may notice while looking through the course information the term 'professional experience' appears. So, what is Professional Experience?

Professional experience is the in-school, in-centre, or in-agency component of most teaching degrees. It allows for a chance to apply the theoretical understanding to the practical world to help build your skills for the classroom. It is a mandatory component of the degree and ranges from 20 days overall to 135 days overall.

There are certain requirements you need before undertaking professional experience you can find these requirements on the Education Students Mandatory Certificates page.

For more information on placement process and other requirements please read the Key Information about your Professional Experience page.

To find out more about the professional experience component of the degree you are thinking of studying (or have applied for), please use the Professional Experience Placement Guide for your relevant year of enrolment.
