Bachelor of Education (Secondary)
Are you looking for a degree that gives you flexibility, industry engagement, professional development and, most importantly, a lot of confidence? USQ’s Bachelor of Education (Secondary) is designed to produce graduates who are 100% prepared to teach students in Years 7 to 12.
Your degree will prepare you to teach two secondary subjects. There are over 30 different study areas offered from which you can choose. Having two major teaching areas makes you a flexible and desirable educator in the Secondary school environment.
Offered online, on-campus or a combination of both, the Bachelor of Education (Secondary) offers flexibility to fit your study in and around other life commitments such as work, family and children.
A key feature of the degree is the opportunity to complete your 100 days of professional experience at any Queensland school or a variety of locations including rural placements and with students who study via the School of Distance Education. Completing your professional experience overseas is also an option.
Teach Years 7 to 12
Graduates of the Bachelor of Education (Secondary) will have the skills and experience required to teach students in Years 7 to 12. Strategies to move Year 7 into High Schools in Queensland in 2015 may also provide additional opportunity for those wishing to focus on the Middle Years.
Not sure you want to take the traditional teaching path? Teaching skills are in demand in other areas, including roles with human services and community-based government organisations.
