The University of Notre Dame Australia's Bachelor of Education (Secondary) program offers the perfect pathway for aspiring teachers. This qualification prepares you to educate students aged 12-17 across Catholic, Independent, and Government schools in Australia. Designed as a four-year program, it provides flexible full-time or part-time study options. Throughout your studies, you'll gain 32 weeks of practical school experience while selecting both a Major and Specialization teaching focus. For those pursuing a career in secondary education, this comprehensive undergraduate program blends theoretical knowledge, modern teaching technologies, and extensive classroom practice. The rigorous curriculum equips you with essential teaching skills while requiring you to specialize in one primary subject area (such as English, Humanities, Mathematics, Science, or Religious Education) through eight courses, complemented by four courses in your chosen specialization.
The program's cornerstone is its 32 weeks of supervised teaching practice, structured progressively: two weeks of classroom observation and assistance in your first year; subject-focused placements in your second and third years; specialization-focused experience in your third year; and a culminating internship in your final year that combines both your major and specialization areas (including Religious Education if selected for accreditation). This degree develops the professional capabilities needed to effectively teach, inspire, and challenge secondary students through practical application of educational theory.
