Structure
Students are required to complete 10 Content units and 2 Curriculum units. Content units educate students in the subject area and the Curriculum units explain how to teach the subject area to others. Students must also select the Maths Education Minor (MIAAGW) when choosing this specialisation. Two pathways have been provided for ATAR and non ATAR chemistry backgrounds and the order of unit offerings differs slightly as a consequence. It is therefore important that students studying this Major seek advice from the Student Hub and obtain an individual course planner.
