This course is designed for teachers to upgrade their qualifications to what is commonly referred to as a 'minimum requirement for teaching', i.e. a Bachelor of Education degree.

The professional study options are selected with the approval of the course convener. Professional Experience components may be required as an additional unit if the course convener deems it necessary. Students completing this course will have a foundation from which to pursue research and postgraduate study in teaching and education.
