Bachelor of Teaching (Primary) Graduate Entry
Upon admission students who meet the entry requirements in full 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 Education Standards Authority (NESA) requirements for appropriate foundation studies for primary teaching - these requirements can be viewed in full at the Authority's website (see http://educationstandards.nsw.edu.au/wps/wcm/connect/ae7db0fc-4a6d-4904-b635-f70147e0dc3c/Subject+Content+Knowledge+requirements+%28abridged%29+Nov+2015.PDF?MOD=AJPERES&CVID= ).
Students are admitted to the course if they are no more than two subjects short of these requirements.
If two further subjects are required to meet the NESA specifications, credit package EDU36C (48 points) is awarded, which permits two additional subjects to be undertaken within the course.
If one further subject is required to meet the NESA specifications, credit package EDU37C (56 points) is awarded, which permits an additional subject to be undertaken within the course.
If the requirements are met in full, credit package EDU38C (64 points) is awarded, which indicates no additional study is needed beyond the normal course requirements, in order to comply with the NESA specifications.
Students may be granted up to a maximum of eight subjects credit from the set of sixteen core Bachelor of Teaching (Primary) subjects based upon appropriate prior graduate-entry studies.
To graduate students must satisfactorily complete 192 points.
