Morgan, Science
The strengths of the BTeach course at UTS include the excellent use of practical school teaching as well as the speed at which we complete our degree and great teacher support.

Kahrina, Visual Arts
Everyday at university has given me the opportunity to listen, look and learn about the people around me. The BTeach offers us the time and supportive environment that we would only find here at Uni. The course also offers practicum experiences in schools where the critical learning occurs. I have thoroughly enjoyed the dynamic interaction with prospective teachers who share the same passion – to make a positive difference in education.

Gary, Maths
It’s a 1-year program, which assists those who are transitioning from industry.

The Teaching methods subjects are the strengths because they have a lot of techniques to tackle the syllabus. The course is very practically orientated which is good.
