About this course

A teacher preparation program for university graduates who seek to begin a rewarding career in secondary education. This course ensures you have an in-depth knowledge of the theory and the practical skills required for secondary teaching. Your subject area expertise, coupled with this sought-after teaching qualification, will see you thrive in the global knowledge society. Candidates must have a degree with sufficient units related to a subject in the school curriculum. As there is a shortage of secondary English, Mathematics and Physics teachers in Australian schools, we particularly encourage students with qualifications in those areas to consider a career in teaching.
