Applicants must also complete non-academic entry requirements to be eligible for this program.
The key learning areas include The Arts; English; Health and Physical Education; Mathematics; Science; Humanities, Social Sciences, and Technology.
Note: Completing the Literacy and Numeracy Test for Initial Teacher Education (LANTITE) is not an entry requirement for this program.
However, if you have 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 program application.
You are not eligible to apply for a place in the program if one or more component of LANTITE remains at 'unsatisfactory' after two test attempts for that component.
Griffith University does not support reset of LANTITE test attempts.
Within this program, students must have two teaching areas or one teaching area plus the Learning Enhancement Specialisation.
Option 1: Two teaching areas to Senior requires two distinct teaching areas with a minimum of six relevant courses in each area, e.g. Mathematics and Biology.
Option 2: One teaching area to Senior (requiring six relevant courses) with a second teaching area to Junior or years 7-10 (requiring four relevant courses)
Option 3: One teaching area to Senior (requiring six relevant courses) and Learning Enhancement as a specialisation (requiring six courses in Psychology).
