My highlights so far would have to be my Prac experiences. It is so much fun and I love working with the kids and it is excellent to see how much they enjoy the games that we play.

Second Year

I really enjoy the Educational units we are required to complete in our degree as I can relate a lot of what I learn to the development of my own children as they start school. The Design units are also very enjoyable and cover a lot of diverse areas.

Third Year

Make the most of the help being offered to you and utilise your tutors - they answer most queries when you're unsure of something - and keep up-to-date in all your units, it's easy to get behind!

My favourite unit has been Introduction to Human Biology.  I have found it really engaging and interesting because there is so much subject matter, and I feel like I am really learning something.

 

Evelyn Steane

Outdoor Education and Health & Physical Education

Outdoor Education because it has challenged me the most. Not just academically but it has also helped me to reflect inwardly, challenging my concepts of what makes a great teacher and in so doing challenging my own character and how I work with others.  Outdoor education has also opened up my mind to different ways to educate and it has taught me the importance of becoming a great leader.

2. I have completed previous study; can I receive recognition for prior learning?

Students are encouraged to apply for recognition of prior learning, which includes formal study undertaken in recognised tertiary institutions, or other demonstrated learning achievement. The double advantage website provides more information on formal articulation arrangements that exist.

The eApplications process asks if applicants want credit for previous study.  Please indicate 'yes' and ensure that certified copies of your certificates of completion are provided to the admissions office.

3. Is the workload heavy?

Whether on-campus of off-campus, each student should allow approximately 10 hours of focused study per unit, per week. This estimate includes on-campus lectures, tutorials and workshops which generally equate to 3-4 hours per unit, per week.

4. Is there professional experience included?

Students must be available to attend unpaid Professional Experience at schools on a full-time basis for a number of weeks each year, totalling a minimum of 80 days over 4 years. A Teachers Registration Board Good Character Check is required before students can undertake placements.

5. What professional recognition will I get for completing the course?

UTAS Faculty of Education pre-service teacher courses are accredited through the Teachers Registration Board of Tasmania. Graduates from the course are eligible for registration with the Teachers Registration Board, Tasmania upon successful completion of the degree (online application process). The mutual recognition act (Mutual Recognition Act 1992 (Cth) or the Trans Tasman Mutual Recognition Act 1997 (Cth)) entitles those who are already registered (in the first state) to register in the other states of Australia and New Zealand. Please note that this does not apply to New South Wales – more information.

6. Are there any scholarships available?

The University of Tasmania believes that as far as possible a student's financial situation should not be allowed to be an impediment to a university education. With the assistance of State and local governments, business and industry in Tasmania, and generous benefactors, it is able to provide awards to make access to the benefits of tertiary education easier.

The Tasmania Scholarships program runs on a calendar year basis. Applications for most awards commencing in Semester 1 open at the beginning of August and close strictly on 31 October in the year prior.

For more information see Scholarships.

7. Can I study externally?

Not entirely. All units are available both face to face (internal) at the Newnham Campus (Launceston). However some of the core units are also available fully online. Students have the flexibility to enrol in both internal and external units within the same semester.

8. Are any units offered over summer?

Each December the Faculty of Education conducts a Summer School. Summer School units generally consist of the normal 13 weeks of study, but with intensive delivery for up to five days on-campus. Those who are able to attend Summer School, who normally study by distance, enjoy the collegiality of class-based study and interaction with fellow students and lecturers. Summer School units are generally released in October/November each year. Students will be notified by email.

9. What if I can’t attend orientation?

Some students may not be able to attend on-campus Orientation because of distance or other commitments. Online Orientation takes you through how to get organised for study, find support and set yourself up for academic success. Online Orientation can also be a handy backup for students who attend on-campus orientation and want reminders or further information. The Faculty also provide a specific orientation through MyLO (My Learning Online) which is accessible again and again throughout the year.

10. Do I have to pay fees up-front?

UTAS Faculty of Education pre-service teacher courses are Commonwealth supported for citizens of Australia, permanent residents, New Zealand Citizens and holders of humanitarian visas.

Australian citizens, and holders of humanitarian visas who are resident in Australia for the duration of the course, may defer their payment via HECS-HELP. Permanent residents and New Zealand citizens must pay up-front for the units in which they are enrolled each semester. More Information on course costs.

11. What other costs should I consider?

Most units require students to have access to prescribed text books in order to complete assignments. Take into account the costs of stationery, resource materials for assignments and postage.

The university has computer laboratories which are available for on-campus students to use.

Outdoor Education students are recommended to also see the frequently asked questions below that refer to Outdoor Education.

12. Do I have to volunteer in a school?

The School of Education strongly encourages all pre-service teachers to maintain regular contact with schools or sporting organisations. For this reason, volunteering in an educational setting or sporting organisation is highly recommended. In addition, many units require students to have access to an educational setting so being involved in an ongoing volunteering arrangement would be highly beneficial.

There are some electives that are highly recommended due to their relevance to the specialisation. You will be advised of these upon the commencement of your course.

However, many students have come into the course with limited/no experience, and through personal commitment to involvement in these activities have graduated with appropriate skill levels.

Whether or not you come with prior experience, Outdoor Education is an area that requires constant commitment to developing outdoor skills (bushwalking, climbing, paddling etc) in order to remain current and competent in these areas.

23. Do I need to do anything outside University requirements to improve my employability for the Outdoor Education specialisation?

A commitment to being involved in improving personal skills in the many outdoor skill areas would be of great benefit to improving employability. Gaining qualifications in skill areas of interest (e.g. climbing, paddling etc) would also benefit graduates. While some skill training is offered in the course (particularly in the elective units ESP216 & ESP226), students are required to invest their own time to improve these skills.

24. What skills or experience do I need to study the Design & Technology specialisation?

Entry into the Master of Teaching is based on previous degree and/or recognised skills or competency.
