Bring your passion for STEM to the teaching profession and inspire the next generation with our vertical double degree, Bachelor of Science/Master of Teaching (Secondary). In your first year of your science studies, you’ll complete four core units—an introduction to the principles of science. You will learn by enquiry—experimental science units will give you the grounding in the fundamental methods of science practice, analysis, research and scientific presentation, as well as  hands-on experience. These are skills that will translate well into your teaching career. In your biological sciences major, you will explore the science of living things through cell biology and evolution, animal biology, biological processes and ecology. You’ll continue your studies into plant biology, microbiology, population genetics and molecular biology. The integrative biology project provides the valuable opportunity to showcase the skills and knowledge you have acquired throughout your degree. As you progress to the Master of Teaching component, you’ll find the course is designed to ensure you can step into your teaching career with confidence. In curriculum units you’ll learn how to teach subjects in the Australian curriculum. Our expert lecturers will encourage you to be creative as you experiment with different teaching approaches to engage, excite and extend your learners. You’ll learn how to identify the best technologies to incorporate in your teaching. Everything you do will be based on a deep understanding of child and adolescent development.
