Important Changes - Bachelor of Education
Recent changes regarding entry requirements for initial teacher education (ITE) programs have been announced. The non-academic entry requirement has been suspended for 2025 for all ITE programs. Students no longer need to submit a written statement of their motivations and suitability for teaching with their application.
This affects Primary and Secondary programs. In addition, the Bachelor of Education (Primary) no longer requires senior secondary science subjects as an entry requirement.
