Bachelor of Science (Physics)/ Master of Teaching (Secondary)

Queensland University of Technology

You may have heard the statistic – 75% of future careers will depend on STEM skills. To equip our future generations for those future careers, we need teachers to help impart the knowledge and provide the skills needed to succeed.This course provides a unique opportunity to gaining a depth of understanding in physics, before progressing to your teaching qualification. You'll learn how to think-not what to think. This will provide you with skillset, as a teacher, to encourage your students to question, explore and research throughout their studies and inspire the next generation of STEM leaders. Throughout our science course, we integrate theory and practice with a strong focus on experimental design, so you'll be equally skilled at the desk, in the laboratory and in the field. You'll start hands-on lab, research and fieldwork skills sessions in your first year. You will graduate with the critical-thinking and problem-solving skills needed as a scientist to thrive.Throughout your Master of Teaching you’ll undertake Professional Experience placements in secondary schools, where you’ll put your study into practice under the guidance of mentor teachers. These experiences could be across government, independent or Catholic education school systems. You can choose to travel to other regions or even overseas.
