3. Units Offered in 2013

(NOTE: amendments may be made to unit availability depending on student demand.)

Prerequisite units are shown in “Other Information” column. Prerequisite units must be completed before enrolling.

If you choose units that are not listed above or you do not choose the recommended mix of units then you may find that you cannot complete your course in minimum time and that you may encounter problems with your timetable.

This is a note for students in the BTBA who want to be History teachers.

Students who want Modern History as a second teaching area, must choose 4 units of Modern History (only two at 100-level). Students who want Ancient History as a second teaching area should choose 4 units of Ancient History (only two at 100-level). [Note that HIST216 Medieval Europe counts a Modern History unit; HIST308 Historiography counts as either Modern or Ancient History.] Please note: Modern and Ancient History are treated as the single discipline area of “History” in the Curriculum and Teaching stream. Therefore, in addition to history, you must have a second, non-history teaching discipline area in your Arts units.

This is a note for students in the BTBA who want to be Economics/Business Studies teachers.

The sequence of Economics discipline and curriculum units are a qualification to teach Economics/Commerce only. To qualify for Business Studies, you will need to seek advice from your Course Coordinator.

In Place - Placement Management System for Education Students

The Faculty of Education at Australian Catholic University (ACU) is implementing InPlace, a placement management system which streamlines registration, requests, and allocation of professional and community engagement placements.

InPlace will provide education students with greater access to information relating to their Professional Experience placements. Students enrolling in Professional Experience units, with an EDFX, ADFX and SDFX code, will be able to register and access allocated placement records online.

Key benefits from InPlace include:

Online registration for placements

Ease in updating professional/community placement information

Ability to receive placement notifications online

Access placement allocations online

InPlace is based on Student Connect data. You will no longer have to fill forms manually for placements. In order that “best match” placements are made, please ensure that your personal details, including address and mobile phone number is current and up to date in Student Connect. To update your details log on to Student Connect (http://students.acu.edu.au/136953).

Note: Mandatory documentation such as Working with Children Checks/Police Checks will still need to be lodged in person at your local Professional Experience Placement Office.





Additional Requirements – Working With Children Check The Commission for Children and Young People Act 1998 for New South Wales requires all people in child related employment whether in paid employment or working as a volunteer to complete an Volunteer/Student Declaration Form (https://check.kids.nsw.gov.au/volunteer-declaration.php). Students within the School of Education (NSW) teacher education programs are to complete the declaration and hand it to the relevant administration officer within the Field Based Learning Unit. Once the Declaration has been completed these will be stored in accordance with the Act at the Australian Catholic University. All students assigned to field based learning activities have met these requirements prior to confirmation of their placement and, having done so, are suitable for child-related employment.

5. Enrolment
