Structures

FOR CHOICE OF DISCIPLINE X, DISCIPLINE Y, CURRICULULM AND EDUCATION OPTION UNITS, please refer to the appropriate lists below.

PLEASE NOTE THAT DISCIPLINE UNITS CANNOT BE STUDIED IN THE SAME SEMESTER AS A FIELD STUDIES UNIT, unless it is of only 9 week duration. If students do not follow the standard course progression (eg due to a fail grade, or non enrolment in units), time will be added onto the course duration, and you should contact the Course Administration Officer for progression advice, jo.wakefield@qut.edu.au

Please note that the Internship is to be taken as the final unit of study in the course, along with EDB034 Secondary Field Studies 4, and successful completion of all other coursework is required before students can commence EDB035 Internship (Secondary) . This is a University and Queensland College of Teachers requirement.

Students must have a valid Bluecard to be eligible for Field Studies units.

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. Please note that 13 week discipline units cannot be taken in the same semester as a Field Studies unit, as you will not be able to attend classes for four weeks whilst on teaching practicum. 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. However this will put you out of step with the standard course progression and will extend the duration of your course. If you intend to underload you should seek progression advice from the Course Administration Officer.

Elite Athelete Program - if you are a member of the Elite Athlete Program and cannot study a full time load, please contact the Course Administration Officer for assistance.
