Bachelor of Teaching (Secondary) with Bachelor of Music

Music in the secondary years is beneficial for the intellectual, emotional and social wellbeing of young people. For some students, it becomes a key source of pride, success and joy. As a music specialist teacher in the secondary years you'll help your students hone musical skills, pursue their goals and build confidence. Develop your digital capabilities in our eLearning Program - the first and only one of its kind for Education students in Australia.

We will show you how to use your own iPad with pencil and keyboard to its full teaching potential so you can earn Apple Teacher status. You might even do your first year placement in an Apple Distinguished School.

Our Bachelor of Teaching (Secondary) with Bachelor of Music is designed in collaboration with the Elder Conservatorium of Music. You will:

• work with experienced musicians, performers, teachers and researchers
• build expertise in music and an additional non-music teaching area^
• explore educational issues, curriculum and practice relevant to the secondary years
• gain professional experience and connections through extensive school placements

You'll graduate fully qualified to register as a secondary teacher Australia-wide. If you'd like to teach overseas, your degree will be valid in most other countries. An education background will also prove invaluable in a wide range of careers servicing communities outside of the classroom.

Audition information is available from the Elder Conservatorium of Music.

^Teaching areas include: classroom music, instrumental music, economics, English, geography, history, languages (must be taken at advanced level), linguistics (EAL/D), mathematical sciences, media.

The Bachelor of Teaching is for students who have not previously undertaken university study. If you have already commenced a degree, you should consider completing that degree and then apply for the Master of Teaching (Secondary).

Prior to commencing fourth year of the degree, students must successfully complete both the literacy and numeracy components of the LANTITE. The LANTITE is administered through ACER.

Please note: Mid-year entry will only be available to domestic students. Due to the program structure and professional experience placements, students commencing mid-year study will complete their program in 4.5 years instead of 4 years.
