Bachelor of Teaching (Secondary)

Credit / Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

On entry into the Bachelor of Teaching (Secondary) a standard credit package of a maximum of 96 credit points (equivalent of 12 subjects) will be given based on the applicant’s undergraduate degree in a teaching related discipline. Students will then be required to complete 96 credit points (12 subjects) in the Bachelor of Teaching (Secondary).

If students require additional discipline subjects (maximum of two) to meet NSWIT accreditation requirements then students will be granted 80/88 credit points (equivalent of 10-11 subjects) from their previous degree and be provided with the opportunity to complete up to two additional discipline subjects concurrently with the Bachelor of Teaching (Secondary) to support either their first or second teaching area.

Additionally, credit may be granted for equivalent subjects completed at another institution. A minimum of 64 credit points (equivalent of eight subjects) of the course must be completed at CSU, however, in order to graduate with a CSU award.

Proficiency credit (PCR)

In order for a student to gain credit for professional experience, the applicant must demonstrate to the Sub-Dean Professional Experience that the completed task was indeed equivalent to a professional experience placement (PEP), that is, the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) had provided the student with an opportunity to satisfy the requirements of a typical PEP. All applications for credit will be considered and a decision determined by the Sub-Dean Professional Experience.
