Professional experience

We organise professional experience placements to give you the opportunity to work in a range of real school classrooms and other settings, supervised by practising professional educators. These start from as early as your first year of your course. These experiences help you to develop your capabilities as you progress through the course. You can choose where you complete your professional experience from a variety of locations, including South-East Queensland, rural and remote schools, and overseas. You will be required to undertake the majority of your supervised professional experience in Australian school settings. You can select from a range of experiences to align with your interests and career goals. Find out more about professional experience

Specialisation for primary teaching

You will undertake a primary specialisation as required by the Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership in literacy. This will enhance your skills in a national area of priority for a primary school setting.

Flexible delivery

At QUT, we understand life can get busy. That’s why our courses are flexible and responsive to your needs. The timing of the course can even vary, depending on how fast you’d like to complete it. If you include 2 summer semesters, you can choose to finish your course in 3.5 years, rather than 4 years. You can also study on campus or online. Some lectures and tutorials may have evening sessions. If you enter the course with advanced standing, you should seek advice on your course progression and the availability of online units. If you choose online study, you’ll be part of an online learning community and in regular contact with our expert teaching staff. QUT provides a variety of online learning environments where you will participate fully, receive expert knowledge and guidance, and have easy access to course content. You can undertake Professional Experience placements in your home region and the schedule will be released well in advance so you can plan ahead. If you need to borrow resources from the QUT Library, these can be posted to your home address.
