Aim

Entry requirements

In order to be eligible students must have completed a three-year degree from a recognised higher education institution, or equivalent. In addition, students must meet the prerequisites for the major (and where appropriate minor) Learning Area in which they intend to specialise. In all cases this will be a major or minor in a subject area relevant to the Learning Area.

Applicants are advised that a successful criminal history screening clearance is required for all students prior to their undertaking any professional experience/practicum placement that involves contact with minors (under 18 years of age). Information on the procedure to be followed for obtaining clearance will be provided with the letter of offer or may be viewed at the School of Education criminal history screening web page. These placements form a compulsory part of the program. A successful clearance may also be required for other courses, eg to enter any school, pre-school or childcare centre for any reason, including on placement, observation or visits, unless the students are already registered teachers.
