Science / Teaching (Secondary), Double Degree Bachelor / Master

In your first year of science studies, you will undertake five core units introducing the principles of science through inquiry-based learning. This includes experimental science units that build foundational skills in scientific practice, analysis, research, and presentation, with hands-on experience that prepares you for a teaching career. Physics studies begin with fundamental concepts to describe, predict, and explain phenomena across scales, from the universe to subatomic particles. You will develop problem-solving skills, explore mathematical methods, experimental physics, and electromagnetism, while advancing through topics like materials and thermal physics, classical and quantum physics, and nuclear physics. A major research project allows specialisation in areas such as lasers, optics, medical physics, and nanotechnology.As you transition to the Master of Teaching, the program ensures confidence in teaching secondary subjects aligned with the Australian curriculum. Expert guidance encourages creative approaches to engage students, integrate technology, and apply knowledge of child and adolescent development. You will access state-of-the-art facilities at Gardens Point for science, including advanced laboratories and computing resources, and the Education Precinct at Kelvin Grove for innovative learning spaces. The course requires 60 days (420 hours) of professional experience placements to integrate theory with real-world teaching.
