Undergraduate courses

From 2008 the Melbourne Graduate School of Education (MGSE) is introducing the Master of Teaching, an innovative program that replaces all current undergraduate and graduate teacher training programs.

There will be no new intake into the MGSE’s three undergraduate courses after 2008. Students already enrolled in these courses can read about them here:

Breadth subjects available in Education - in 2008, MGSE will be offering 5 specially selected first-year breadth subjects at the undergraduate level available to those students undertaking a New Generation degree.

Undergraduate Combined Courses - only available to transferring students.

Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Teaching (BA/BTeach)
Bachelor of Creative Arts/Bachelor of Teaching (BCA/BTeach)
Bachelor of Music/Bachelor of Teaching (BMus/BTeach)

PLEASE NOTE: Internal transfer applications into these courses will only be accepted from students who are currently enrolled at the University of Melbourne and who have completed Year 2 of the Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Creative Arts and Year 3 of the Bachelor of Music and have the prerequisites for two learning areas (depends on the stream chosen for Bachelor of Music students). These students will commence the teaching component of the course in 2008. These courses are in the process of being taught out.

Graduate courses

The 200 point Master of Teaching (Early Childhood, Primary and Secondary streams) is a teacher preparation program targeted at those people who have an undergraduate degree from a non-teaching discipline. Students initially enrol in the 200 point Master of Teaching but have the choice of fast-tracking their way into the classoom through an early exit option which qualifies them to teach with a Postgraduate Diploma in Teaching after completion of 150 points (only applies to the Secondary and Early Childhood streams. There is no early exit for the primary stream)
