These Program Rules should be read in conjunction with the University's policies (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies).

Overview

The Bachelor of Teaching (Middle) with Bachelor of Science double degree prepares students for teaching years 7 to 10 of the Australian Curriculum. It is designed for students who are beginning tertiary study. The primary focus in the first three years of the double degree is on completing two teaching areas taught at the middle school level (years 7 to 10 inclusive).
 
Students are required to have completed the requirements of the discipline degree to be eligible to enrol into the fourth year of the program.

The Bachelor of Teaching (Middle) with Bachelor of Science is an AQF Level 7 program with a standard full-time duration of 4 years.

The program is offered as a double degree only and students are required to complete both awards at the same time.

Conditions

Condition of Admission
Criminal History Clearance: Students must be able to demonstrate a successful National Criminal History Record Check (NCHRC) as it is required by teacher employment authorities in Australia and South Australia. A Working With Children Check (WWCC) is required prior to undertaking any professional experience/practicum placements which involves contact with minors (under 18 years of age). These placements are compulsory. International students will be required to obtain a certificate from their home country

Condition of Enrolment
Interruption of program: Students must apply for permission from the Program Coordinator before taking a Leave of Absence. Any extension of the leave without approval will result in the loss of place in the program but an application may be made to be re-admitted to the program subject to the admission procedures in place at the time.

Condition of Continuing Enrolment
LANTITE: progression into the fourth year of the program is subject to the successful completion of both the literacy and numeracy components of the Literacy and Numeracy Test for Initial Teacher Education (LANTITE).

Academic Program Rules for Bachelor of Teaching (Middle) with Bachelor of Science (BTeach(Middle)BSc)

There shall be a Bachelor of Teaching (Middle) with Bachelor of Science (BTeach(Middle)BSc).
