Course Description
Mathematics is a discipline central to many branches of science and commerce, and teaching the next generation of mathematicians requires specific skills.
The Bachelor of Mathematics Education creates secondary teachers who understand best practice teaching methods in addition to holding a full mathematics major. It can also lead to other careers that require high-level training skills in the many business environments mathematics graduates find work.
Subjects focus on mathematical knowledge, learning and development, professional teaching skills, curriculum studies and meeting learners' needs.
Professional Experience, or practical teaching, is undertaken in each year of the program. Students begin their professional experiences within weeks of starting the course, have the opportunity to undertake some of their experiences overseas, and finish with a five-week Internship in the final year.
Entry Requirements
Academic requirements, English requirements and credit transfer information are available from the Course Finder.
Course Program
The Bachelor of Mathematics Education course is run in collaboration with the Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences. The following program details the subjects to be studied, but the order of subjects may change from year to year. Co-and pre-requisite requirements must still be observed.
