What you’ll be qualified for

You’ll qualify as a specialist secondary school teacher of both health (including human development) and physical education, with a third teaching area of your choice. This could be business, biology, geography, social sciences, digital technologies or mathematics (just to name a few).

What you’ll be learning

You'll develop a diverse range of knowledge and skills as you build your understanding of health and physical education, and education as a discipline. In your health and physical education discipline studies, you’ll learn about the biophysical and behavioural foundations of health and physical education – and how to bring out the best health and wellbeing in your students and communities.

This is all knowledge which you'll apply to your specialist teaching areas of health and physical education. In your education discipline studies you'll develop an understanding of adolescent learning and development in a secondary education environment, as well as curriculum planning, implementation and evaluation.

With at least 80 days of professional teaching practice in secondary schools, you’ll have a chance to put theory into practice and start your journey as an inspiring and future forward educator.
