Flinders University Courses

Masters

Applicants must hold an approved undergraduate bachelor degree or equivalent qualification. The Master of Teaching is a pre-service teaching degree and admission normally will not be granted to applicants who already hold a teaching qualification in the same area. Please note that different teaching courses may have additional entry requirements. Selection is based on academic merit and non-academic selection criteria.

Additional entry requirements

Applicants must complete a non-academic assessment task known as a Teaching Capabilities Statement as part of their application to demonstrate their motivation to teach, their strong interpersonal and communication skills, willingness to learn, resilience, self-efficacy, and strong organisational and planning skills. This involves a short statement in response to three set questions used to demonstrate suitability for study and work in the teaching profession. Applicants who select this course as a preference during the application process will be directed to a page to meet this requirement.

Inherent requirements

The Australian Government has recently introduced the Literacy and Numeracy Test for all initial teacher education (ITE) students to ensure they have the high level of personal literacy and numeracy skills required of teachers. The test is a single, national instrument designed to assess elements of an individual’s literacy and numeracy skills and will be used to demonstrate that ITE graduates are in the top 30 per cent of the population for literacy and numeracy. All students commencing an ITE program after 1 January 2017 will be required to meet the benchmark prior to graduation. For further information, including registration details, please check the test administrator’s website. There are also important inherent requirements for this course and applicants are strongly advised to become aware of these requirements.

Applicants must hold a bachelor degree or equivalent qualification and have achieved a Flinders equivalent grade point average (GPA) of credit (5.00) or above to be considered.

Applicants who did not achieve the minimum GPA in their completed approved bachelor degree or equivalent qualification, can be considered on the basis of a second bachelor degree, graduate certificate, graduate diploma or masters degree of their choice, provided they have completed a minimum one semester full-time equivalent study in one of these courses and that Flinders equivalent GPA is 5.00 or above in this study.

Applicants must have also either completed the Bachelor of Health Sciences (Principles of Physiotherapy) at Flinders University OR have met topic pre-requisites by having completed:

• the equivalent of 9 units (0.25 years FTE) of study focusing on human physiology, including one dedicated topic of exercise physiology; and
• the equivalent of 9 units (0.25 years FTE) of human anatomy, including one dedicated topic of human musculoskeletal anatomy; and
• the equivalent of 4.5 units (0.125 years FTE) of study focusing on an understanding of the human and social environment and social perspectives in health such as psychology and sociology; and
• the equivalent of 4.5 units (0.125 years FTE) of study in research methods; and
• the equivalent of 4.5 units (0.125 years FTE) in communication skills with future clients and colleagues in health settings.

Due to limited places available, selection is based on meeting the above requirements and academic merit. Applicants who meet the above requirements will be ranked on their best Flinders equivalent GPA of 5.0 or above achieved over a minimum of one semester of full-time equivalent study in one course.

Applicants must also provide a completed pre-requisite self-assessment form as part of the application process.

Qualifications are not able to be pre-assessed and feedback can be provided once applications are submitted and considered through SATAC.

Masters

Applicants must hold an approved undergraduate bachelor degree or equivalent qualification with topics that enable them to teach to Year 12 in at least one subject specialisation and to Year 10 in a second subject specialisation offered by the College of Education, Psychology and Social Work.

Not all teaching specialisations are offered every year. If your teaching area is Physical Education, you must apply for the Master of Teaching (Secondary) – Physical Education (2CM227) to be considered.

Note that in South Australia, to teach to Year 10, four undergraduate semester topics in the teaching area are needed; and to teach to Year 12, six undergraduate semester topics in the teaching area are needed. Not all of the above curriculum areas are taught throughout Years 8 to 12.
