Overview

The Bachelor of Education Secondary prepares you to become a secondary school teacher, eligible to teach in a range of secondary schools such as middle, secondary and senior colleges. At CDU, you can study a Bachelor of Education Secondary online or on campus, parttime or full-time. When you graduate, you'll be qualified to register as a teacher anywhere in Australia. The course focuses on the skills and knowledge that you will need to teach in high schools, as outlined by the Australian National Curriculum. It meets both the national and local need for teachers committed to improving educational outcomes for children in year 7 to year 12.

In this course you will learn about:

  • the school curriculum
  • contemporary approaches to issues in education, such as inclusivity
  • child and adolescent development
  • behaviour management and student wellbeing
  • improving the teaching-learning relationship in the classroom
  • teaching First Nation learners
  • developing an informed, evidence-based approach to learning and teaching in secondary school settings.

As a secondary teacher, you will specialise in teaching certain subjects. As part of your degree, you will choose two specialisations: a major and a minor. You can choose from a range of options, including:

  • Technologies
  • Health and Physical Education
  • Humanities
  • Languages Other Than English - Chinese, Greek, Indonesian, Yolngu
  • Mathematics
  • Music
  • Science
  • Visual Arts
  • English

 

The course is a mixture of discipline-specific curriculum and pedagogical studies, general education studies and professional experience. When you graduate, your levels of personal literacy and numeracy will be broadly equivalent to the top 30% of the Australian population. Students are encouraged to review the employer eligibility requirements as they can vary state to state.



Practical experience

This course includes the completion of a minimum of 80 days professional experience in secondary schools.

Professional recognition

On graduating, you will be eligible to register as a teacher in all states and territories in Australia, providing you meet all other requirements. Registration is currently being approved.

What will I study?

A candidate must successfully complete units totalling 320 credit points (cp).

Course structure

Within the specialist electives, students select a first teaching area (major) and second teaching area (minor) from the following areas:

Major teaching areas in Science (Biology/Chemistry/Environmental Science/Physics); Languages (Chinese/Greek/Indonesian/Yolngu); English; Health and Physical Education; Humanities (History/Geography/Indigenous Knowledges); Digital Technology; Mathematics; Music; or Visual Arts.

Second teaching area (minor) History and TESOL


All students must pass prior to graduation the ACER Literacy and Numeracy Test for Initial Teacher Education (LANTITE) as required by the Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership (AITSL). The cost of the testing will be met by the student. Refer to https://teacheredtest.acer.edu.au/

Please check the offerings, pre-requisite and assumed knowledge requirements prior to enrolment. 100 level units are initial level units, 200 level units are medium, and 300/400 level units are advance level units. Ideally, ECM units need be done after a few specialist elective (content) units.


A candidate must successfully complete units totalling 320 credit points (cp) as detailed below. All units are valued at 10 credit points unless otherwise indicated.

Study plan


Students commencing in Semester 1

The Recommended Study Plan provided below is suitable for a student commencing in semester 1 and enrolling in a standard load. Students entering this course with advanced standing, or wishing to reduce or vary their study plan due to work, personal, financial or other reasons should use the table as a guide to create an individual study plan.

When designing an individual study plan:

  • maintain the basic order in which units are to be attempted; and
  • check the assumed knowledge for each unit as some 200 and 300 level units assume you have completed foundation unit/s in the unit area at a lower level. 200 level units have the unit code which includes a number starting with 200.

Printable copies of the study plans, including part-time study plans, are provided below for your convenience:
