The Science component consists of 96 credit points and allows students to explore a range of scientific disciplines such as physics, chemistry, biology, environmental science, mathematics, psychology, and geographical science. This provides students with the opportunity to build strong subject expertise alongside analytical and problem-solving skills. Together, these components integrate professional teacher preparation with in-depth scientific knowledge, enabling graduates to inspire curiosity and critical thinking in learners. The program also includes supervised professional experience placements in schools, where students apply theoretical learning in real classroom environments and develop practical teaching skills, confidence, and reflective practice. Upon completion of all 204 credit points, graduates are well prepared for careers as primary or secondary teachers with specialisation in science or mathematics, as well as roles in science communication, education programs, and community learning initiatives. This qualification ensures graduates meet professional teaching registration requirements and are equipped for diverse and rewarding career pathways.
