Bachelor of Technology Master of Teaching in Secondary Education (TAS-Computing/Mathematics)
Overview
Do you have a passion for Technological and Applied Studies, Engineering Studies or Computing and are you looking to pursue a career in Teaching? The Bachelor of Technology Master of Teaching in Secondary Education offers you the knowledge and practical hands-on experience required to teach over 12,000 school pupils studying Engineering Studies in NSW (NSW Education Standards Authority, 2021 HSC Enrolments by Course, 2021).
Our combined "Vertical Stack" course (undergraduate + postgraduate degree) enables you to gain a greater depth of disciplinary knowledge in Engineering Studies before you commence your teaching subjects in the Master of Teaching from your second year of study. Gaining a wider and deeper understanding in your field of study gives you more confidence when you commence as a teacher. You enter the classroom up to date on the most current developments in the discipline, and this is highly valued by schools.
The unique vertical structure of this combined course means you do not need to meet the standard three Band 5 HSC results, including English, for admission to an initial teacher education course.
To ensure that we maintain a high quality of teachers in the education sector, you will need to achieve a Credit average in the first two years of your university studies before progressing into your final years of the program. If you do not meet the Credit average, you will still be able to continue in the Bachelor of Technology, and graduate with that qualification.
You will spend 80 days in one of more than 200 secondary schools across NSW. This practical experience with a trusted UTS partner school will help you gain the skills and confidence in curriculum and classroom management required for effective teaching in TAS, Engineering Studies and Computing and will also help you develop personal and professional networks within and beyond education for your future career path.
Not only will you be accelerated in your career pathway to secondary teaching by achieving two qualifications, including one at postgraduate level, within the duration of a single undergraduate degree, you will have the benefits of a range of career options.
