Applicants will need a completed Bachelor degree (or equivalent) that does not lead to teacher registration (with a minimum GPA of 4.0 on a 7-point scale) with disciplinary strengths in two distinctive teaching areas. English language requirements apply to International applicants and other applicants whose previous Bachelor-level study was 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. The minimum English language requirements for such applicants for entry to this program are as follows:
A minimum overall band score of 7.5 in IELTS (Academic) with a score of at least 8.0 for Listening and Speaking and a score of at least 7.0 for Reading and Writing.
OR a score of at least 4 in each of the areas of Speaking, Listening, Reading and Writing in the ISLPR.
OR successful completion of at least three years full-time Bachelor-level study (within the last five years) where the language of instruction is English in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Republic of Ireland, United Kingdom or the United States of America.
The ISLPR test will only be accepted if it has been administered by ISLPR Language Services, Mt Gravatt, Queensland. English test results must be no more than two years old. The Direct Entry Program (DEP) pathway is not accepted for this program. As part of the Australian Institute for Teaching and Leadership (AITSL) revised Standards and Procedures (2015), applicants to initial teacher education programs (pre-service teachers) must satisfy both academic and non-academic entry requirements for selection to this program. All Queensland universities utilise the same non-academic entry requirement process. Applicants must submit a 1000-word personal statement with their application by following the non-academic entry requirements process.
