The preservice Bachelor of Education (Secondary) is a four-year full-time concurrent course for the preparation of secondary teachers, company trainers and, depending on major studies chosen, other professionals requiring an academic background in the sciences, humanities or business studies. The degree comprises thirty subjects. Eight of these are professional subjects and twenty-two are general studies subjects approved for degree purposes. Candidates for this degree may study full-time on campus or by distance education.
A major consists of a minimum of eight subjects in one subject area; a submajor comprises a minimum of six subjects in one subject area. All students complete an eight-subject major in education composed of:
Majors and submajors are available in English, history/politics, and sociology. History and politics can be combined with sociology to make up a social science major. Psychology should not be taken beyond the submajor without prior permission from the course adviser.
Majors and submajors are available in physics, chemistry, biology and psychology (Group 1); and in mathematics (pure and applied, and statistics), computing, operations research and information management (Group 2). In all cases, if a submajor is elected, one subject only may be studied. If a major of eight or more subjects is studied then a combination of two out of the three in Group 1 is allowable and a similar combination permitted for Group 2. Students considering a submajor in mathematics are advised to follow the study plan set out under the section on the multidisciplinary Bachelor of Applied Science. A double major in three subjects from either group is permitted subject to course adviser approval.
Majors and submajors are available in economics and accounting. Submajors are available in law, marketing, management and tourism management. If a submajor is elected, one subject only may be studied for that submajor. If a major is elected then a combination of two subjects is permissible. A double major of three subjects may be studied subject to course adviser approval.
The subject areas available include foundation studies in 2D and 3D; studios in painting, printmaking, ceramics and sculpture; and history and theory of art. Majors are available in all studios after completion of foundation studies. A submajor in history and theory of art can be studied independently of foundation studies and studios (but will not be accepted as a teaching subject by the Victorian Department of Education). With the exception of history and theory of art subjects, all other studies in visual arts require the approval of the student/course advisers for both the School of Visual Arts and the Bachelor of Education (Secondary). Initial requests should be lodged with the Bachelor of Education (Secondary) course adviser.
In all cases, students are responsible for ensuring that they have the pre and/or corequisites for the subjects they propose to study. This is a particularly important matter when it comes to choosing upper level subjects. Students may be able to count certain studies from other campuses of Monash University as well as other universities towards their Bachelor of Education (Secondary), eg studies in classical and modern languages, philosophy, geography etc. Advice on how to proceed on this is available from the student administration office, Gippsland School of Education (telephone 9902 6375) and the course adviser.
