For information regarding the Teaching Personal Statement, refer to the QTAC website. 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.

The teaching areas are: biology; business (Gold Coast and online only); chemistry; design technologies (Gold Coast and online only); digital technologies (Gold Coast and online only); drama (Mt Gravatt and online only); English; food and nutrition (Gold Coast and online only); geography (Mt Gravatt and online only); health and physical education; history; instrumental music (Mt Gravatt and online only); languages other than English (LOTE) (Mt Gravatt and online only); learning enhancement (Mt Gravatt and online only); mathematics; music (Mt Gravatt and online only); physics; psychology (Mt Gravatt and online only); visual arts (Mt Gravatt and online only). These teaching areas are selected on the basis of content studies within an applicant’s previous degree. Applicants applying to study at the Gold Coast can select Mt Gravatt teaching areas or specialisations not offered at the Gold Coast and if approved would need to travel to Mt Gravatt for that teaching area. Similarly, applicants applying to study at Mt Gravatt can select Gold Coast teaching areas or specialisations not offered at Mt Gravatt and if approved would need to travel to the Gold Coast or enrol online for that teaching area. The take-up of selected teaching areas that have been approved are contingent on timetabling constraints.
