Generally, to qualify for a secondary teaching method in fourth year, a candidate will require a minimum of two years of full academic study in that discipline. Progressively over the course students will be completing more of the education component, until the final year which will be entirely education, including an extended teaching practicum. This practicum is a program of field visits to different educational sites including structured teaching experience. Students will be required to complete projects related to their field visits. The visits are an integrated part of work in the Bachelor of Education program.
Opportunities also exist for further study.
