Secondary teachers are qualified to work with students in years 7-12 and are trained to teach specific subjects within the high school curriculum. UOW offers several specialised 4-year bachelor degrees, as well as the option to complete a relevant bachelor degree followed by the Master of Teaching (Secondary).
Bachelor of Secondary Education
Through these degrees, you will study general study area subjects alongside your major specialisation, while also gaining key professional knowledge about how the brain works, psychology and adolescent development, classroom management and relationships, Aboriginal education, inclusion, special education, technology, and pedagogy (that is, what to teach and how to teach it).
Bachelor degrees available:
Master of Teaching (Secondary)
Complete a bachelor degree followed by a Master of Teaching (Secondary). In your bachelor degree, it is important that you study subjects related to the area that you wish to teach in. For example, a major in Mathematics will help you meet the requirements for Mathematics as your teaching method within the Master of Teaching. Please see Master of Teaching for information about UOW’s available teaching methods and entry requirements.
