Academic entry requirements
To study at UC, you’ll need to meet our academic entry requirements and any admission requirements specific to your course. Please read your course admission requirements below. To find out whether you meet UC’s academic entry requirements, visit our academic entry requirements page.
Multiply your chance of success with a UC teaching degree
Combining an extensive list of maths and technology-based subjects, including database design, linear algebra, IT support and communication literacy, this four-year double degree will allow you to gain specialised knowledge in a variety of teaching practices, while introducing you to the needs of a diverse range of secondary students across Years 7 to 12.
By studying an assortment of Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) units, taught on-site in a secondary school environment, you’ll put your maths and computing technology theory into practice by, first, observing these subjects in a real-world classroom setting, and then by taking the helm yourself. At graduation, you’ll have gained a vast array of knowledge and skills required to be a secondary school teacher specialising in maths and Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), and will be well-placed to accept a range of in-demand teaching opportunities in an exciting and constantly evolving digital age.
Study a Bachelor of Secondary Education/Bachelor of Science at UC and you will:
- demonstrate specialised knowledge and skills in both mathematics and computing technology studies, across a range of classes and year groups, within a secondary school environment
- learn the theories and principles that are the foundation for educational practice in secondary settings
- demonstrate an understanding of student needs and differences, and develop teaching activities for a range of indigenous, English as an Additional Language or Dialect (EALD) and mainstream settings
- develop and implement effective assessment strategies and carry out evaluation of teaching programs, resources and your own teaching
- apply the required content knowledge for all secondary school curriculum areas to teaching and reporting methods, alternate/enhanced literacy and numeracy strategies, and the effective use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in teaching and learning.
Work Integrated Learning
A teaching degree, by its very nature, is the embodiment of Work Integrated Learning (WIL), with its focus on compulsory professional teaching practice. During this course, you’ll undertake a minimum of 80 days of practical placement across a range of different secondary school levels and settings, including maths and technology-specific positions, culminating in a 30-day teaching placement in your final year.
In addition to this, the course content is developed by secondary education professionals, and kept relevant and up-to-date through consistent monitoring of, and engagement with, the industry. You’ll undertake authentic assessment tasks which are highly relevant to the day-to-day practice of teaching, and will take part in regular professional development activities, field trips to educational STeM sites such as Questacon, lectures hosted by guest speakers from a range of education and teaching backgrounds, and more.
