Bachelor of Mathematics / Master of Teaching (Secondary)

Bring your passion for STEM to the teaching profession and inspire the next generation with our vertical double degree, Bachelor of Mathematics/Master of Teaching (Secondary). In the first year of your mathematics component, you’ll complete common mathematics units, laying the foundations for the remainder of your mathematics studies. You’ll explore mathematical reasoning, statistics and modelling, data analytics, computational mathematics, calculus and linear algebra. You’ll develop in-depth knowledge and skills in one or more of the contemporary specialisations of mathematical practice (Applied and Computational Mathematics, Statistics or Operations Research), which will be underpinned by a solid foundational base of mathematical training, and complemented by computational and programming skills. As you progress to the Master of Teaching component, you’ll find the course is designed to ensure you can step into your teaching career with confidence. In maths curriculum units you’ll learn how to teach these subjects in the Australian curriculum. Our expert lecturers will encourage you to be creative as you experiment with different teaching approaches to engage, excite and extend your learners. You’ll learn how to identify the best technologies to incorporate in your teaching. Everything you do will be based on a deep understanding of child and adolescent development.
