2. Know the content and how to teach it
3. Plan for and implement effective teaching and learning
4. Create and maintain supportive and safe learning environments
5. Assess, provide feedback and report on student learning
6. Engage in professional learning
7. Engage professionally with colleagues, parents/carers and the community.

1. Education Core (60 UOC)
2. Prescribed Education method electives (24 UOC)
3. Prescribed Education electives (12 UOC)

• Science
• Mathematics

1. enrol in the Bachelor of Education (Secondary) in Dual mode and complete 96 UOC;
2. complete the method requirements for one or two areas of teaching specialisation
3. complete at least 30 UOC of Level 1 courses before enrolling in Level 2 courses
4. complete at least 30 UOC of Level 2 courses before enrolling in Level 3 courses

1. An approved major from the Bachelor of Science program; and
2. Science elective courses.

1. Students must complete a minimum of 96 units of credit for the Bachelor of Science;
2. Students must complete at least one approved Bachelor of Science major, and this must be declared before enrolling in level II courses. Details of approved Bachelor of Science majors and how to declare a major can be found on the 3970 Bachelor of Science program page;
3. In addition to the courses required for a student's chosen major, students must take 'science' courses so that the major plus 'science' courses total 96 units of credit. Details of what courses constitute ‘Science’ courses can be found in Table 1 on the 3970 Bachelor of Science program page;
4. Students must complete at least 24 units of credit of ‘science’ level I courses; Most majors in the Bachelor of Science already satisfy this requirement, for example, the Molecular Biology major requires BIOS1101, BABS1201, CHEM1011, CHEM1021 and 6 units of credit of Mathematics. This is a total of 30 units of credit of science level I courses, therefore, no more level I science courses are required. Where a major does not include at least 24 units of credit of science level I courses, students will need to choose additional level I science courses to bring the total to 24 units of credit. For example, Psychology requires PSYC1001 and PSYC1011, therefore, students will need to choose an additional 12 units of credit of science level I courses. These science level I courses also count towards the 96 units of credit requirement at rule number 3.
5. No student may commence level II courses until 30 units of credit of level I courses have been successfully completed. (This is 30 units of credit of courses taken towards the entire Dual program and not just courses for the Science component);
6. Students may commence Science level III courses upon successful completion of 72 units of credit (This is 72 units of credit of courses taken towards the entire Dual program and not just courses for the Science component).

1. Students in the Biology major stream need to complete two courses (12 UOC) in one of Chemistry or Physics
2. Students in the Chemistry major stream need to complete two courses (12 UOC) in one of Physics, Biology or Earth & Environmental Science
3. Students in the Physics major stream need to complete two courses (12 UOC) in one of Biology, Chemistry or Earth & Environmental Science
4. Students in the Earth & Environmental Science major stream need to complete one course (6 UOC) in Biology and two courses (12 UOC) in one of Chemistry or Physics

• 66 UOC in Mathematics. These Mathematics courses must be chosen so as to fulfill the requirements for a Mathematics for Education major stream in the BSc program (3970), and include the courses MATH3560 'History of mathematics' and MATH3570 'Foundations of calculus.' Refer to Mathematics for Education in Program 3970.
• The balance of 96UOC in Science courses should be taken from recommended Science electives, including at least 6 UOC of computing courses (e.g., COMP1911, COMP1400, or ENGG1811) and 6 UOC of Physics (e.g. PHYS1111, PHYS1121, or PHYS1131), which can be taken from a variety of Schools, including Mathematics and Statistics
