Completing the teaching questionnaire
If you have applied for the Bachelor of Primary Education or Bachelor of Secondary Education (all majors, except Bachelor of Education - The Early Years), you’ll need to complete an additional teaching questionnaire. Responses will not be accepted after 5pm Friday 15 August.
How to Complete the Questionnaire
You can access the questionnaire by logging back in to 'manage' your Early Admission application, and follow the prompts; after submitting your Early Admission application, you will have received an email with a link to complete your questionnaire.
We recommend starting this early, because you'll need to prepare a written response of approximately 100 to 150 words.
Once submitted, your answers cannot be edited. If your response doesn’t meet requirements, UAC will contact you to resubmit before the closing date, which is why submitting early is beneficial.
Accessing the Questionnaire
- Log back into your application portal.
- Follow the prompts and select "Questionnaires".
- Write and submit your response. If your response is deemed inadequate, you will be asked to resubmit. The questionnaire will close at 5pm Friday 15 August; so give yourself plenty of time!
The question
Tell us what has inspired you to become a teacher and tell us why you think teaching is a good career choice for you.
Think about:
- Who, or what, has inspired you to become a teacher?
- Why are you interested in teaching young children/young people?
- What skills and abilities do you have that will make you a good teacher?
