The course prepares graduates for teaching in secondary schools and provides them with the opportunity to build on strengths developed in their undergraduate degree. Students must ensure that they qualify for two single methods or one double method. Eligibility for a single method usually requires two years of study in the discipline and for a double method three years of study in the discipline. The Graduate Diploma of Education (Secondary) requires the successful completion of units totalling 60 credit points. The study equivalent to achieve 60 credit points would normally be 1.25 years of full time study; however this course has been structured to allow completion in just 1 year full-time or 2 years part-time. This is made possible by the incorporation of a 12 credit point study overload. The course includes a maximum of 50 days of satisfactory field placements in a variety of educational settings.
Students will acquire the skills that will effectively allow them to plan and deliver educational programs for children aged 12-18 years. Graduates are eligible for employment as secondary school teachers in the government, Catholic and independent school systems in Victoria. For interstate and overseas positions, applicants are advised to check with local authorities.
