• Workload

  Full-Time Study Load

  As a full-time student, you can expect to commit around 48 hours of study per week. This includes class time and independent study. You may need to factor more time for examination study and practical work & placements.

  For more details on course workloads, please refer to the UOW Handbook.

• 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). It needs to be noted that the off-campus environment is beyond the control of UOW.

• Credit for Prior Learning

  If you have completed prior studies or relevant professional experience, you can request course credit or subject exemptions to reduce the duration and cost of your program.

  Credit for prior learning evaluates your previous study or work experience related to your chosen subjects.

  UOW values lifelong learning and recognizes various types of prior learning, regardless of how or where it was obtained. For more information, refer to UOW's Credit for Prior Learning page.
