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 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 Semester 1 and 2 ED/BIOL 4000 3.00 and ED/BIOL 4001 3.00.

Candidates for biology must complete a total of 36 credits in biology as a first teaching subject or any 18 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 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.
