Bachelor of Mathematics Education
The UOW Bachelor of Mathematics Education qualifies you to be a high school math teacher and focuses on developing your mathematical knowledge and professional teaching skills. You will complete extensive professional experience throughout your degree, which allows you to learn by observation and apply your skills in the classroom. You may also have opportunities for rural and international professional experiences, to study overseas with UOW's international exchange and study abroad partners, and to join international cultural immersion programs.
Mathematics is a discipline central to many branches of science and commerce. Given its wide variety of applications, teaching the next generation of mathematicians requires specific skills. UOW Mathematics Education involves learning mathematics and how to teach it effectively.
Each year, UOW offers up to five Mathematics Secondary Education Scholarships to students starting this degree with an ATAR above 80 and Band 5 in Advanced Mathematics or equivalent.
What you will study
During this four-year degree, you will study a combination of maths and education subjects allowing you to practically apply both disciplines throughout your degree. Mathematics subjects including calculus, algebra, statistics and mathematical modelling are complemented with education subjects about teaching and learning strategies including learning and development, pedagogy (the method and practice of teaching), professional teaching skills, curriculum studies and meeting learners' needs.
Teaching is an academically rigorous profession and teachers play a critical role in our communities. Strengthening requirements for studying teaching degrees is an initiative of the NSW Government to ensure that initial teacher education programs prepare high-quality graduate teachers who can respond to the needs of all learners to make a positive impact on student learning. At UOW we are committed to ensuring our graduates are of the highest standard by setting appropriate entry criteria and maintaining a strong developmental program that supports teacher education students from diverse backgrounds with diverse experiences, abilities and perspectives to become the teachers of the future.

In order to succeed in your chosen course, it is assumed you have completed relevant subjects in your senior high school studies or other relevant qualifications. This is particularly important for degrees which have a strong basis in Mathematics or Science.
RECORD CHECK
New enrolling students will be required to complete the new online Working with Children Check and clearance must be obtained prior to attending Professional Experience.
Please note: Professional Experience is a compulsory component embedded in our undergraduate and Master of Teaching courses. Therefore it is an expectation that students who participate in these courses are capable of meeting the demands of navigating their own way to, from and around the Professional Experience contexts (e.g. school sites).
