On-campus (Gippsland)
This double-degree program is a unique, interdisciplinary degree which focuses specifically on the employment and training needs of those seeking to work in the expanding sport and outdoor recreation industries. The course provides attractive sequences of studies for students in a number of disciplinary areas including education, business/management, tourism, environmental science and sports science.
To
receive the awards of Bachelor of Sport and Outdoor Recreation and Bachelor of
Education, a student must successfully complete units totalling 192 points
consisting of:
(a) Studies in sport and outdoor recreation (96 points), including studies in
academic disciplines appropriate for either the sport and recreation industry
and/or teaching at the secondary level and the adult and vocational education
sector.
(b) Studies in education (96 points), a series of units relating to the theory
and practice of education, teaching and curriculum. Fieldwork placements are
also included.
Candidates
intending to qualify as secondary school teachers need to be aware that their
major and minor studies in sport and outdoor recreation must satisfy the
requirements for the study of two methods and practice-of-teaching unit sets (A
and B sequence = method set) in their fourth year and the requirements for
employment laid down by the Victorian Institute of Teaching. Particular care
must be taken in unit choice by those wishing to qualify as health and physical
or outdoor education teachers.
Off-campus fieldwork placement in school settings (mainly in Victoria but also
in wider Australia, North America and the South Pacific) is an integral part of
the course for every student. Other off-campus fieldwork activities provide
students, as individuals or in small groups, with opportunities to collect
data, test theories, and observe phenomena relevant to all areas of education.

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.
Upon completion of the double degree, graduates will be qualified for employment as secondary school teachers in Victoria (including health and physical education* if the approved unit sequence is followed) or in the sport and outdoor recreation field. For interstate and overseas positions, applicants are advised to check with local authorities.
* In order to be able to teach physical education outside of Victoria, students should check requirements with their local authority. The option to overload in physical education units in year four is available.
