You can choose to accelerate your studies over 1.5 years or study full-time over two years. If you choose the accelerated option you will be able to apply for registration six months earlier than graduates from other universities.If you are a graduate from a non-education background, perhaps seeking a career change, and wish to teach in secondary school settings, this new degree will provide you with the necessary skills and knowledge you need to register with the QCT.You will learn the theory and practice of teaching, as well as about the characteristics of learners and teachers and the social contexts of education. The degree includes education studies, curriculum studies in two nominated teaching areas, and professional experience in secondary school settings. A maximum of four (4) curriculum studies courses will be taken from the curriculum study courses in the undergraduate degree.You will need to be able to identify two of the following Teaching Areas (and students may choose to take teaching areas from another campus and travel to the campus at which those teaching areas are offered):<ul><li>Biology (Gold Coast, Online and Mt Gravatt)#</li><li>Business (Gold Coast and Online)</li><li>Chemistry (Gold Coast, Online and Mt Gravatt)#</li><li>Design Technologies (Gold Coast and Online)</li><li>Digital Technologies (Gold Coast and Online)</li><li>Drama (Mt Gravatt and Online)</li><li>English (Gold Coast, Online and Mt Gravatt)</li><li>Food and Nutrition (Gold Coast and Online)</li><li>Geography (Mt Gravatt and Online)</li><li>Health and Physical Education (Gold Coast, Online and Mt Gravatt)</li><li>History (Gold Coast, Online and Mt Gravatt)</li><li>Instrumental Music (Mt Gravatt and Online)#</li><li>Languages other than English (LOTE) (Mt Gravatt and Online)</li><li>Mathematics (Gold Coast, Online and Mt Gravatt)</li><li>Music (Mt Gravatt and Online)</li><li>Physics (Gold Coast, Online and Mt Gravatt)#</li><li>Psychology (Mt Gravatt and Online)#</li><li>Visual Arts (Mt Gravatt and Online)</li></ul># These teaching areas must be taken at a senior level and, therefore, require a minimum of six subjects in each area in the undergraduate degree.Alternatively, if you have completed at least six subjects in psychology in your Bachelor degree, you may nominate one of the above teaching areas to a senior level (for which you meet the study requirements with a minimum of six subjects) and complete the Learning Enhancement specialist area. In this specialist area, you will gain the skills needed to provide learning support to students with additional needs. You will be able to work in secondary settings where you advise teachers in their planning and/or teach in secondary special education settings. A maximum of four (4) curriculum studies courses will be taken from the curriculum study courses in the undergraduate degree.

Use your qualifications and experiences from other sectors as a pathway to teaching. You’ll learn the theory and practice of teaching, specialising in two teaching areas like biology, drama, or psychology. Includes professional experience in high schools.
