Bachelor
You must demonstrate possession of key competencies outlined by the Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership (AITSL) as those attributes and motivations common to effective teachers.
To demonstrate this you must complete an online questionnaire to demonstrate your motivation for and understanding of the course and profession. Details are available from the QTAC initial teacher education webpage.
If you've achieved a satisfactory result for one or more components of the Literacy and Numeracy Test for Initial Teacher Education (LANTITE) at another institution the satisfactory result can be carried across with your admission application. You are not eligible to apply for a place in this course if one or more components of LANTITE remains at unsatisfactory after two test attempts for that component.
Overseas qualificationsWe will consider equivalent overseas qualifications for admissions purposes. If your previous studies were completed in a country other than Australia Canada New Zealand Republic of Ireland United Kingdom or the United States of America or undertaken in a language other than English you must provide evidence of your English language proficiency.
English language proficiencyWe require students to demonstrate they can speak write read and comprehend academic English to a specified standard.
Our English proficiency requirements for this course are:
The test must have been completed within 2 years prior to the proposed course start month.
Pass the Initial Teacher Education Course (ITE) Capabilities Criteria.
Applicants must demonstrate possession of key competencies outlined by the Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership (AITSL) as those attributes and motivations common to effective teachers.
You must complete an online questionnaire to demonstrate your motivation for and understanding of the course and profession. In the questionnaire you will be asked to:
QUT will send you details on how to complete the Initial Teacher Education Course (ITE) Capabilities Criteria questionnaire and submit your written statements after you have lodged an application.
If you've achieved a 'satisfactory' result for one or more components of the Literacy and Numeracy Test for Initial Teacher Education (LANTITE) at another institution the 'satisfactory' result can be carried across with your admission application. You are not eligible to apply for a place in this course if one or more components of LANTITE remains at 'unsatisfactory' after two test attempts for that component.
In the first year of your mathematics component you'll complete common mathematics units laying the foundations for the remainder of your mathematics studies. You'll explore mathematical reasoning statistics and modelling data analytics computational mathematics calculus and linear algebra.
You'll develop in-depth knowledge and skills in one or more of the contemporary specialisations of mathematical practice (Applied and Computational Mathematics Statistics or Operations Research) which will be underpinned by a solid foundational base of mathematical training and complemented by computational and programming skills.
As you progress to the Master of Teaching component you'll find the course is designed to ensure you can step into your teaching career with confidence. In maths curriculum units you'll learn how to teach these subjects in the Australian curriculum. Our expert lecturers will encourage you to be creative as you experiment with different teaching approaches to engage excite and extend your learners. You'll learn how to identify the best technologies to incorporate in your teaching. Everything you do will be based on a deep understanding of child and adolescent development.
You will be based at the Gardens Point campus for your mathematics studies where you will experience high-performance computing and visualisation facilities mirroring real-world environments.
During the Master of Teaching you'll experience the Education Precinct at the heart of Kelvin Grove campus. These contemporary learning spaces facilitate experimentation and innovation preparing you to become an inspiring confident and future-focussed teacher when you step into professional experiences in schools. The spaces strike the right balance of collaborative learning interaction and quiet individual research.
A centrepiece of the Precinct is the Sphere a digital LED globe suspended over two floors with a changing menu of interactive visual content.
As a secondary teaching specialist you will be prepared to teach mathematics in schools. Your qualification can also allow you to teach in other locations in Australia and overseas.
The masters qualification will position you to lead STEM teaching in a school or to pursue other important roles in the education sector: in policy work; curriculum development; or community engagement projects to advance STEM.
Mathematics graduates may be eligible for membership with relevant professional societies depending on the specialisation completed. These may include:
The Master of Teaching meets professional teaching standards for the Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership and Queensland College of Teachers. Graduates are eligible to apply for teacher registration. Applicants seeking teacher registration in Australia may be required to provide evidence of English Language proficiency levels. Further information is available from relevant registering bodies.
