Course OverviewThis double degree enables you to workas a science professional or pursue acareer in scientific research. Alternatively,the Bachelor of Education (Secondary)prepares you to teach in two curriculumareas in secondary school. The sciencemajors that are most relevant if you areintending to follow a career in secondaryschool teaching are chemistry, ecology,geoscience, mathematics or physics.

Professional RecognitionThis course meets the requirements forregistration as a teacher in Queensland. Itis recognised nationally andinternationally, however additionalrequirements may be needed for somelocations.

Graduates will also satisfy therequirements for membership of therelevant professional body for theirchosen science major. SeeStudyfinder for details on the Bachelor ofApplied Science majors.

Other Course RequirementsBlue CardAs required by the Commission forChildren and Young People and ChildGuardian Act (2000), student teachersmust undergo a criminal history checkand be issued with a Suitability Card(Blue Card) by the Commission.You must hold a Blue Card to undertakeactivities in any unit which involvescontact with children, including the
