Academic entry requirements

  • Qualifications Successful completion of Australian Year 12 or equivalent overseas qualification. This will be assessed at the time of your application. To check your eligibility for this course, visit our entry requirements for international students page. Entry requirements for international students Course prerequisites • VCE Units 3 and 4: a minimum study score of 25 in any English (except EAL) or 30 in English as Alternate Language (EAL) or equivalent, and a study score of at least 20 in any Mathematics. Other requirements LANTITE The Literacy and Numeracy Test (LANTITE) for Initial Teacher Education (ITE) students is the means of demonstrating that students have met the required standard of English language literacy and numeracy. In the case of Australian First Nations language speakers, recognition of Australian First Nations language proficiency by the relevant cultural authority is an acceptable alternative standard. Applicants applying to transfer from an ITE course from another Provider must disclose all LANTITE attempts or provide evidence of Australian First Nations language proficiency. Applicants who have unsuccessfully attempted the LANTITE three or more times may not be eligible to receive an offer. Casper test All applicants (both standard entry and non-year 12 entry) must sit the Casper test. Casper is a non-academic online test designed to assess an applicant's personal and professional attributes. Please note Swinburne will consider Casper test results taken within the past year. It is an Australian Government accreditation requirement that all initial teacher education courses include non-academic selection criteria. To ensure you don’t miss the Casper test deadlines, register for your sitting or see further information about the test. If you are a current Year 12 student, please refer to the VTAC website for deadlines. Admission to this course will consider both academic and Casper results. English language proficiency All applicants must demonstrate suitable English language proficiency for successful completion of the course. The university may determine selection criteria and restrictions in respect of courses to apply in addition to these entry requirements. Eligibility for admission does not guarantee offer of a place. Working with Children Check and Police Check All enrolled students must maintain a current Working with Children Check (from the appropriate State Authority). A Police Check may also be required by a school prior to a placement. Check the list of each state's requirements. View the Informed Choices statement, which provides information about the inherent requirements of education, specifically the essential physical and behavioural abilities needed to perform assessment tasks and professional placements in education and progress to a career in this field.
