Bachelor of Teaching (Primary) (3410PT)
Distance Education Bathurst

Normal course duration

Full-time 3 years (6.0 sessions)

A standard credit package of 64 points will apply for a previously completed relevant undergraduate degree that meets NSWIT content/discipline requirements.

Admission criteria

Admission to the Bachelor of Teaching (Primary) will be on the grounds of acceptable Undergraduate requirements for entry into Primary Teaching.

Credit

Bachelor of Teaching (Primary) Graduate Entry

Upon admission students are awarded 64 points of entry level credit in recognition of prior completed relevant undergraduate bachelor's degree.

The credit packages which are awarded upon entry to the course are based on how well the applicant's previous academic background fits with the NSW Institute of Teachers requirements for appropriate foundation studies for primary teaching - these requirements can be viewed in full at the Institute's website (see http://www.nswteachers.nsw.edu.au/Subject-Content-Requirements-abridged.html ).

Students are admitted to the course if they are no more than two subjects short of these requirements.

If they require two further subjects to meet the Institute's specifications, they are awarded credit package EDU36C (48 credit points), which permits them to undertake two additional subjects within the course.

If they require one further subject to meet the Institute's specifications, they are awarded credit package EDU37C (56 credit points), which permits them to do an additional subject within the course.

If they meet the requirements in full, they are awarded credit package EDU38C (64 credit points), which indicates they do not need to do any additional study beyond the normal course requirements, in order to comply with the Institute's specifications.

Students in the BTeach(Primary) course are not obliged to complete their additional study at CSU. They may complete suitable subjects at another tertiary institution, in which case their credit package would be adjusted upward accordingly upon provision of documentary evidence of satisfactory completion of suitable subjects at another institution.

Appropriate additional study for those who do not meet the Institute's specifications is determined on an individual basis, and is dependant on a student's particular academic background. At the request of Student Administration, a list of all potentially appropriate CSU subject prefixes via which students in the course may meet the requirements is provided below, to assist with data collation for the Degreeworks program. However it should be noted that completion of subjects with subject prefixes listed below will not necessarily indicate eligibility to graduate. More importantly, the subjects need to meet the Institute's requirements for subject content relevant to one of the six specified Key Learning Areas of primary education, in a way which is relevant to the particular student and their academic history. Passing a subject with a potentially appropriate CSU subject prefix does not guarantee that the subject studied is relevant or useful in terms of meeting graduation requirements. In short, eligibility to graduate from this course cannot be determined by Degreeworks, and all graduands will need to be checked within the Faculty against the initial assessment made upon their entry to the course.
