Welcome to the Bachelor Science Education

The Bachelor of Science Education qualifies you as a secondary science teacher, with scientific knowledge equivalent to a degree major in an area of your choice. The degree focuses on developing teachers who can teach well: who have sound practical teaching skills, knowledge of science to the level of a degree major, and the ability to develop as professional teachers through reflection and action. The degree includes study of science in a range of areas to provide a full science major in a specialisation of  your choice that can be utilised in both teaching and other community settings. The degree applies an innovative approach to provide you with training in both science and teaching in an integrated fashion.

You will study:

• discipline studies in science
• teaching and learning in science
• curriculum and pedagogy
• foundation studies in education

Professional experience starts in the first session of the first year of the degree. You can undertake professional experience in local schools throughout the course, or you can also apply for 'out-of-area' professional experiences (e.g. in rural NSW) and overseas experiences.
