Description Structure and Schedules Specification

Course Structure

The course structure of the combined degree includes:

  • The core program of the BIS degree;
  • A sub-major (four units of study) in a related discipline, one unit of which is included in the core program of the BIS degree; and
  • The course of study towards the BTeach (Secondary).
To qualify for the BIS-BTeach, students must successfully complete 400% from units in the BIS and BTeach schedules. At least 212.5% is required for the BIS component and the second related discipline teaching area and 187.5% for the BTeach component.
The BIS component must include two teaching subject areas, one being information technology, and the other chosen from a related discipline teaching area, which must be one of the following:
  • Science
  • Mathematics
  • Business: Social and Environmental Accounting, Accounting, Economics, Management (senior secondary teachers only).
 Students will need to be counselled by the BTeach staff regarding identified employer demand. Students will undertake a major in IS and a sub-major in the related area. A major is defined as a course of study that leads to 50% of the units being completed at the third year level. A sub-major is defined as 25% first year core units and 25% second year core units.
Enrolling students will be counselled by BTeach staff on the combinations of Sub-major electives that they may take and satisfy this requirement for a second teaching discipline.
