With the Bachelor of Mathematical Sciences / Bachelor of Education, you can prepare yourself for a career as a secondary school teacher, in mathematics, science or IT, with the flexibility to teach middle school years through to VCE. You can also take your skills to other industries for even greater choice.

You will develop skills in mathematics, computing, modelling and statistics, while you develop your own identity as a teacher. You'll learn how to teach and how to best inspire your students.
