Advanced standing

Credit may be granted for work already completed at Monash University or at another tertiary institution, including overseas universities on a case-by-case basis. Application for credit should be made at the time of enrolment. Application forms may be obtained from the faculty office on each campus.

Methods and practice of teaching units

Students enrolled in the double-degree (secondary stream) courses must choose two methods and practice-of-teaching unit sets (A and B sequence = method set). Students are advised to consult the following list of teaching units together with the outlines for each unit and their prerequisites in order to ensure that their undergraduate sequences in the companion degree qualify them for the teaching methods.
The prerequisites for entry to these units are determined by the faculty and do not necessarily match the requirements of particular employers in specific subject fields. Students in doubt about the suitability of their qualifications for employment with the Victorian Institute of Teaching are invited to check with the department's recruitment unit.
With permission from the course coordinators, students may undertake study in a mixed mode (ie on and off-campus).

Practicum placement

Students in undergraduate double-degree courses must successfully complete teaching practice which consists of 80 days of supervised school experience. Students who are employed in schools who are required to do 80 days practicum must complete 40 days of supervised practicum in a setting other than the school in which they are employed. Students must be available to undertake school placements on a full-time basis and attend their placement for full days at times determined by the faculty.
