Admission criteria
- A completed bachelor (AQF level 7) or bachelor honours (AQF level 8) degree or equivalent from a recognised higher education institution which includes completion of a major from the Australian Curriculum Learning Area in which they intend to specialise. To qualify for a Learning Area, the major must consist of a minimum of six courses, with at most two at a first-year university level and at least two at a third-year level.
This degree requires a Grade Point Average (GPA) equivalent to an Adelaide University 5.0 on a 7-point scale for entry.
Minors in additional Learning Areas are not essential, but are preferred and will improve an applicant’s chances of receiving an offer. To qualify for a minor Learning Area, the minor must consist of at least 4 courses, with at most 2 at a first-year university level.
Essential requirements
All applicants are required to submit a 400-600 word Teaching Capabilities Statement (TCS) with their application. In the TCS, applicants describe their motivation to teach. The TCS assesses non-academic entry requirements in accordance with national teacher education program standards.
Prior to undertaking any professional experience placement that involves contact with minors (under 18 years of age), students will be required to provide a successful Working with Children Check (WWCC) with the Department of Human Services. Information on the procedure to be followed for obtaining clearance will be provided with the letter of offer and may be viewed at the Teaching and Education Placements web page. These placements form a compulsory part of the program. A successful clearance is also required for visits to education sites in other courses, to enter any school, pre-school or childcare centre for any reason, including on placement, observation, internships or visits.
