When students take the Bachelor of Science degree and the Bachelor of Education degree in combination, they are able to complete both courses in four years of full-time study at a normal course load for each year. A feature of this course is its interdisciplinary approach to the teaching of some units.
To
receive the awards of Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Education, a student
must successfully complete units totalling 192 points consisting of:
(a) Studies in science (96 points). Students must complete a major sequence in
a science discipline (three years of study in a single discipline - normally 12
points at level one, 12 points at level two and 24 points at level three), a
minor sequence in a different science discipline (two years of study in a
single discipline - 12 points at level one and 12 points at level two), and two
additional first-year units. During their second year of study, students must
also complete the following units:
Within the science component of the
double degree, students cannot include more than 36 points of level-1 science
units and no less than 24 points of level-3 science units overall.
(b) Studies in education (96 points). Students must complete a series of units
relating to the theory and practice of education, teaching and curriculum.
Fieldwork placements are also included.
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 fieldwork. This fieldwork is a program of field
visits to different educational sites and includes 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.

Students must successfully complete teaching practice, which consists of 80 days of supervised school experience. Students who are employed in schools must complete a minimum of 40 days of supervised fieldwork in a setting other than the school in which they are employed.
On completion of the double degrees, graduates will have a sound preparation for entry into the science and/or education and training professions. Graduates will be eligible for employment as teachers in Victoria. For interstate and overseas positions, applicants are advised to check with local authorities.
