Handbook

The Foundations in Teaching minor is only available to students enrolled in the Bachelor of Social Science (Pathway to Primary Education) (Course instance code Q344) or Bachelor of Psychological Science (Pathway to Primary Education) (Course instance code Q364).  Students enrolled in these degrees will be given preferential admission to the Master of Teaching (Primary) up to two years after completion of their degree, provided they achieve a WAM of at least 65. Students who achieve a course weighted average mark below 65 will be considered for entry to the postgraduate degree on the same basis as applicants from other courses. In the event that quotas restrict places in the postgraduate degree, including access to Commonwealth Supported Places, priority will be based on academic merit (WAM).

The three postgraduate (900-level) subjects completed in the Foundations in Teaching minor (18 credit points) will be credited towards the Master of Teaching (Primary) degree, thereby reducing the study load in the that degree. The 900-level subjects may only be undertaken in the final year of the undergraduate degrees and require a WAM of at least 65 for enrolment. Students will need to use the Subject Addition Form to request enrolment in 900-level subjects.
