Structures
ED92 - Research Option
PLEASE NOTE THAT SOME COURSEWORK UNITS CANNOT BE STUDIED IN THE SAME SEMESTER AS A FIELD STUDIES UNIT. If you do not follow the standard course progression (eg due to a fail grade, or non enrolment in units), you may extend your course duration. If you are out of step you should contact Student Affairs for progression advice, nm.kyle@qut.edu.au.
All other course requirements must have been successfully completed before commencing EDB014 Early Childhood Field Studies 4: Professional Work of Teachers - Induction into the Field and EDB015 Internship (Early Childhood) in your final semester of study. This is a University and Queensland College of Teachers requirement.
Overload - The Faculty of Education permits you to overload to 60 credit points (ie standard program plus one more unit) without faculty approval only if your grade point average is 4.0 or higher. If you intend to overload you should seek progression advice from the Course Administration Officer.
Underload – The Faculty of Education permits you to underload to 36 credit points (ie 3 units in a semester) without faculty approval. If you intend to underload you should seek progression advice from the Course Administration Officer.
You must have a valid Bluecard to be eligible for Field Studies units.
