This is a double degree for students who want to work as high-school science or maths teachers.

After completing this degree you will have a professional teaching qualification as well as a Science degree from the UNSW Faculty of Science.

Students will gain analytical skills with broad application in the sciences including biology, chemistry, earth and environmental science, physics or mathematics.

Along with the theoretical aspects of education, we place great importance on practical experience.
