Admission to the Master of Teaching (Secondary) Graduate Entry will be on the basis of successful completion of an acceptable undergraduate degree that includes the equivalent of three-quarters of a year (0.75 Equivalent Full Time Study Load - EFTSL) of discipline study, usually comprising sequential discipline study taken over three years.  In most programs, this equates to six units, with no more than two units at first year level and no fewer units that two units at third year level.  A Grade Point Average of 4 or
above must have been attained in applicant’s Undergraduate studies.

Credit

CSU Credit Policy

Students who do not meet NESA requirements for discipline content subjects will be offered a place in the Bachelor of Teaching
(Secondary) where they can complete the discipline content subjects as required by NESA http://educationstandards.nsw.edu.au/wps/portal/nesa/home/ . Once students have completed the NESA requirements within the Bachelor of Teaching (Secondary) they can apply for entry to the Master of Teaching (Secondary). Students must have attained a Credit Grade Point Average (GPA 4) in their undergraduate degree or in their first year of study for the Bachelor of Teaching (Secondary).

In order for a student to gain credit for a professional experience, the applicant must demonstrate to the Director, Professional
Experience Unit, that the completed task was indeed equivalent to a practicum, that is, the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) had
provided the student with an opportunity to satisfy the requirements of a typical practicum. Typically, that would require the pre-service
teacher to demonstrate that she/he has developed the skills, knowledge and understanding of the role of a teacher through:

- systematic observation of colleague's teaching and professional dialogue about such observations;
- teaching in a classroom in a collaborative role with an experienced colleague;
- the development of structured teaching and learning materials that are systematically evaluated;
- the development of a professional portfolio;
- discussion of personal teacher development with a supervising colleague on a regular basis;
- engagement in professional dialogue with independent (university) personnel;
- formal assessment of teaching competence by a supervising teacher.

Any student who is conditionally employed within a secondary school setting and is successful in gaining Professional Experience
Credit then this credit will only apply to EPT441 Professional Experience 1. It is a course requirement that students must
complete professional experience in two diverse settings, as such, the student must then complete EPT442 Professional Experience 2
practicum requirements at a different school setting.

Any student who completed professional experience as part of another incomplete degree may apply to have that professional
experience recognised as equivalent in the same manner that they would apply for credit for other subjects.

Graduation requirements

To graduate students must satisfactorily complete 128 points.
