Teaching questionnaire

Completing the teaching questionnaire

If you're applying for the Bachelor of Primary Education or Bachelor of Secondary Education (all majors, except Bachelor of Education - The Early Years), you’ll need to complete an additional teaching questionnaire required by NESA.

How to Complete the Questionnaire

After submitting your Early Admission application, you'll receive an email with a link to complete your questionnaire. We recommend starting this early, because you'll need to prepare a written response of approximately 100 to 150 words.

Once submitted, your answers cannot be edited. If your response doesn’t meet requirements, UAC will contact you to resubmit before the closing date, which is why submitting early is beneficial.

Accessing the Questionnaire

  1. Complete and submit your Early Admission application. Soon thereafter, you will receive an email with instructions as to how to access the Teaching Questionnaire.
  2. Log back into your application portal.
  3. Follow the prompts and select "Questionnaires".
  4. Write and submit your response.

The question

Tell us what has inspired you to become a teacher and tell us why you think teaching is a good career choice for you.

Think about:

  • Who, or what, has inspired you to become a teacher?
  • Why are you interested in teaching young children/young people?
  • What skills and abilities do you have that will make you a good teacher?
