This course can only be undertaken on a part time basis.
Course Entry Requirements/Prerequisites
A Bachelor’s degree or equivalent from a recognised tertiary educational institution. At least one TEE Science subject and one TEE Mathematics subject or equivalent.
Recognition of Prior Learning
Applications for recognition of prior learning are assessed on an individual basis.
Duration and Availability
This course is of two years duration, part-time only.
Special Note
Units must be chosen in consultation with the course coordinator.
