Bachelor of Education (Secondary)

Become a secondary school teacher. Guide our future leaders and ignite the minds of the next generation. Our secondary education degrees combine university study with practical experience. You'll explore how to teach and how people learn, study topics from 2 teaching areas, then apply your knowledge in the classroom. Throughout your program you’ll be immersed in hands-on workshops, school visits and supervised placements, and gain a strong understanding of day-to-day life in a secondary school. Students undertaking a Bachelor of Education (Secondary) dual program must complete a minimum of 80 days of supervised and assessed professional experience throughout the program. Every effort is made to place students within a reasonable distance of their home base, but they can be expected to travel up to 90 minutes due to public transport connections and incur costs associated with travel and possible lost income over this period. Students are generally placed at Ipswich, Brisbane, and southeast Queensland and are encouraged to explore the option of a rural placement. Financial assistance may be available to assist with travel and accommodation costs for rural placements.
