On Campus

In your first year of your science studies, you’ll complete the five core units—an introduction to the principles of science. You will learn by enquiry—experimental science units will give you the grounding in the fundamental methods of science practice, analysis, research and scientific presentation, as well as hands-on experience. These are skills that will translate well into your teaching career.

Your earth science major blends the traditional fields of geology, physical geography and oceanography/hydrology. It begins with the fundamental driving forces of life and planetary evolution. You’ll continue your studies with marine geoscience, sedimentary geology and stratigraphy, and explore natural hazards and structural geology.

You’ll round out your experience with units in geophysical and plate tectonics, and basin analysis; and complete a major project to showcase the skills and knowledge you have acquired during your studies.

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 curriculum units you’ll learn how to teach 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. In Bachelor of Science (Earth Science) / Master of Teaching (Secondary) 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.
