Course Description
This combined degree prepares students for careers as secondary-school Mathematics, Computer Studies and Science teachers. Students complete a Science degree alongside their Education studies. In the first two years Education is taken as a compulsory subject, together with units of study in two teaching areas. At the end of five years of study students will complete the BEd/BSc and will be qualified to teach in two or three teaching areas. Students can exit the program at the end of Year 3 with the BSc or continue toward the BEd which is taken in Year 4.

Related Careers
Chemist
Chemists study the physical and chemical properties of materials to determine their composition. They use this information to develop new materials and products, to devise more efficient processes for making materials and to increase scientific knowledge.
Chemists should not be confused with pharmacists (see separate entry for Pharmacist).
Geoscience Technician
Geoscience technicians assist earth scientists such as geologists, engineers and geophysicists to find and develop mineral and fuel resources. They make observations, collect and analyse samples, record information and look after the practical tasks involved in servicing remote field operations.
Life Scientist
Life scientists examine the anatomy, physiology and biochemistry of humans, animals, plants and other living organisms to better understand how living organisms function and interact with each other and the environment.
Physicist
Physicists study the behaviour of the physical world at the most basic level and find practical ways to apply new knowledge gained from their research in areas of science and technology.
Teacher - Secondary
Secondary school teachers teach one or more subjects within the school curriculum to secondary students.
Subjects include English, mathematics, science, drama, dance, art, music, health and physical education, design and information technology, languages other than English, studies of society and environment, and home economics (see entry for Home Economist).
