Normally, the Bachelor of Information Management and Systems degree and the
Bachelor of Education degree are each of three years duration. When the degrees
are taken in combination, students are able to complete both courses in four
years of full-time study.
Graduates of this double-degree program will have completed qualifications that
allow entry into both the information technology profession and/or the
education and training profession.
Applicants must have satisfactorily completed the VCE or its equivalent and have achieved two units of mathematics (any), with a study score of at least 25 in English in units 3 and 4, and a study score of at least 20 in three other VCE units.
To
receive the awards of Bachelor of Information Management and Systems and
Bachelor of Education, a candidate for the double degree must successfully
complete units totalling 204 points, consisting of:
(a) Studies in information technology consisting of a major study (three
years study in a single discipline), a minor study (two years study in a single
discipline), and two additional first-year subjects. Students will be required
to overload by six points in each of years two and three.
(b) A series of subjects relating to the theory and practice of education,
teaching and curriculum. Practicum subjects are also included.
Candidates intending to qualify as secondary teachers need to be aware that
their major and minor studies in information technology must satisfy the
requirements for the study of two teaching methods in their fourth year and the
requirements for employment laid down by the Department of Education,
Employment and Training and non-government authorities.
Generally, to qualify for a secondary teaching method in fourth year, a
candidate will require a minimum of two years of full academic study in that
discipline.
Progressively over the course students will be completing more of the education
component, until the final year which will be entirely education, including an
extended teaching practicum. This practicum is a program of field visits to
different educational sites including structured teaching experience. Students
will be required to complete projects related to their field visits. The visits
are an integrated part of work in the Bachelor of Education program.
Opportunities also exist for further study.
For
the education component of the double degree, students will choose either
secondary or primary education subjects. Secondary education subjects will be
offered at Clayton and primary subjects at Peninsula.
For the information management systems component of the double degree, subjects
will be offered at the Caulfield campus.
