Why choose this course?
Career outcomes
Graduates meet the requirements for Registration by the Queensland College of Teachers.

Career Outcomes
You will be prepared to teach in a minimum of two curriculum or teaching areas in secondary schools.

Professional Recognition
The Bachelor of Education (Secondary) is recognised by the Queensland College of Teachers as meeting the requirements for registration as a teacher in Queensland. Applicants for teacher registration in Queensland are subject to national criminal history checks. Graduates looking for employment in other parts of Australia and overseas may be required to meet additional conditions.

Working With Children Check
As required by the Commission for Children and Young People and Child Guardian Act (2000), student teachers must undergo a criminal history check and be issued with a Suitability Card (Blue Card) by the Commission.

As soon as you enter your enrolment program for the course, you must submit your Blue Card application to the QUT Student Centre immediately. You must hold a Blue Card to undertake activities in any unit which involves contact with children, including the required field studies blocks.

If you do not apply for a Blue Card immediately upon enrolment in the course and allow sufficient time for the police check and issuing of the Card, you will be unable to participate in the required activities and may need to be withdrawn from the unit(s) and incur both financial and academic penalty. It may take up to 8 weeks for the Commission to issue the Card.

Course Structure
The Bachelor of Education is an exciting learning opportunity, which will challenge students to investigate, question, and create new knowledge about teaching and learning. The course has been designed using the principles of outcomes-based education; an educational approach that not only describes the long-term learning outcomes that are desired from the course, but which accepts that the learning pathway towards these outcomes may be different for individual students.

Each program consists of several different types of units:
- core units cover material which is considered essential
- parallel units are specific to each program
- strand units focus on issues related to that program
- specialist pathway units allow students to undertake a specific area of study of at least 48 credit points.

Students complete a total of 384 credit points of study and will specialise in two teaching areas appropriate for teaching grades 8-12 in Queensland. The teaching area studies are also referred to as discipline studies.

Students will undertake discipline studies, education-related studies and a minimum of 100 days of field study experience in a range of classrooms and other educational settings, and curriculum studies relevant to the selected teaching areas. Core education units will cover teaching and learning studies, technology studies, Indigenous and sociocultural studies. Applied curriculum tasks give students the opportunity to relate their practical school experiences to their theoretical studies.

Successful applicants receive an offer in one of three streams: General, Home Economics or Physical Education. Restrictions apply to some teaching area combinations.

Students will select their two teaching areas from the following lists (one from Group X and one from Group Y):
