What students study
Students pursue advanced science alongside education foundations, subject pedagogy, curriculum, assessment and school practice. Laboratories, seminars, research, a dissertation and supervised internship may be required.
Duration and study options
Duration depends on entry qualification and approved structure. Verify current teacher-education recognition, science specialisation, awards conferred, internship hours, laboratories, research supervision and recruitment acceptance.
Eligibility and admission
Applicants need the relevant bachelor’s or science qualification and marks specified by the university and applicable norms. Selection may use entrance tests, qualifying marks, interviews and counselling.
Career and further study
Graduates pursue science teaching subject to eligibility tests and recruitment rules, plus education content, laboratories, curriculum and research. Options include MEd, PhD in science or education, policy and academic leadership.
