Education – Science |
Biology (Intermediate/Senior only)
The best preparation for teaching biology as a first teaching subject is an Honours BSc degree in biology. However, Faculty of Science and Engineering students who select biology as their first teaching subject and either chemistry, physics or mathematics as their second teaching subject, may wish to consider the Honours Science degree program which allows for a broader range of courses than in Specialized or Combined Honours.
There is potential for conflicts or repetition in choosing similar teaching subjects, such as ones that fall under the science category. Although you may select these combinations, we would like to advise you that you may have the same course director and same course outline for both teaching subject classes. 24 credits in the teaching subject area must be completed prior to enrolling in ED/BIOL 3051 6.00.
Candidates for biology must complete a total of 36 credits as a first teaching subject or any 24 credits for biology as a second teaching subject.
Chemistry (Intermediate/Senior only)
The best preparation for teaching chemistry as a first teaching subject is an Honours BSc degree in chemistry. However, Faculty of Science and Engineering students who select chemistry as their first teaching subject and either biology, physics or mathematics as their second teaching subject may wish to consider the Honours Science degree program which allows for a broader range of courses than in Specialized or Combined Honours.

Science - General
The best preparation for teaching science as a first teaching subject is an Honours BSc degree in science. Candidates must have completed a combination of courses spanning two of the following subject areas: biology, chemistry or physics. We accept additional courses from earth and atmospheric space science or natural science.
There is potential for conflicts or repetition in choosing similar teaching subjects, such as ones that fall under the science category. Although you may select these combinations, we would like to advise you that you may have the same course director and same course outline for both teaching subject classes. 24 credits in the teaching subject area must be completed prior to enrolling in ED/SCIE 3051 6.00.
Candidates for intermediate/senior must complete a total of 36 credits for science as a first teaching subject and 24 credits for science as a junior/intermediate or second teaching subject.
