A completed bachelor’s degree or equivalent that does not lead to teacher registration with a minimum GPA of 4.0 on a 7.0 point scale, with disciplinary strengths in two distinctive teaching areas. Non-academic entry requirements also apply.

Applicants must have completed a quarter of their degree (a minimum of six subjects) in their first nominated teaching area. The second teaching area must include a minimum of another six courses for senior secondary, or four courses for junior secondary. To qualify for the learning enhancement specialist area, applicants must have completed a minimum of six subjects in psychology. Griffith University will notify applicants of their approved teaching areas to enable them to enrol correctly, should they be made an offer in this program.

Teaching areas: Applicants must nominate their preferred teaching areas (minimum of two, or students can take studies in one teaching area and the learning enhancement specialisation) on their QTAC application.

You will need to identify two of the following Teaching Areas to form your study: Biology*; Business; Chemistry*; Design Technologies; Digital Technologies; Drama; English; Food and Nutrition; Geography; Health and Physical Education; History; Instrumental Music*; Languages other than English (LOTE); Mathematics; Music; Physics*; Psychology*; Visual Arts.

* These teaching areas must be taken at a senior level and, therefore, require a minimum of six subjects in each area in the undergraduate degree. The take-up of selected teaching areas that have been approved are contingent on timetabling constraints.

English Language Proficiency requirements: Apply to all applicants whose previous studies were completed in a country other than Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Republic of Ireland, United Kingdom or the United States of America or undertaken in a language other than English. Applicants must attain an IELTS – academic (or equivalent) of 7.5 overall (with a minimum score of 8 in speaking and listening, and minimum score of 7 in each of the other subtests), obtained within two years prior to the start of the program, or the successful completion of three years full-time bachelor level study where the language of instruction is English completed in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Republic of Ireland, UK, USA.

Previous Education studies: Successful completion of the Literacy and Numeracy Test for Initial Teacher Education (LANTITE) is not an entry requirement for this program. However, if you have achieved a ‘satisfactory’ result for one or more component of the Literacy and Numeracy Test for Initial Teacher Education (LANTITE) at another institution, the ‘satisfactory’ result can be carried across with your program application. You are not eligible to apply for a place in the program if one or more component of LANTITE remains at ‘unsatisfactory’ after two test attempts for that component. Griffith University does not support reset of LANTITE test attempts.

From 2025, all students will need to complete the LANTITE to be eligible to enrol into 7888EDN. There are four opportunities each year to sit LANTITE and students will need to plan ahead to avoid clashes with first year professional experience times.

Griffith Guaranteed Admission Schemes do not apply to this program.
