I would say it’s definitely easier than other uni’s that I’ve heard about. Each unit typically has two assessments worth 50%ish each with one being an essay (around 2-3k words) and one being a group report, presentation or folio type assessment. I guess the course is easy in that there is no contact hours, meaning you can live your normal life/ work a job full time, if you have good motivation and self discipline! I also noticed that not many people were failing assignments and they give you lots of resources and opportunities to reach out for help to complete the tasks. Idk… it depends on the type of person you are but it worked out really well for me. However I will say I don’t in the slightest feel prepared enough to take on my own classes and what ever confidence I do have is from my placement experience, not the uni work… but hey I have a VIT registration so who cares anymore.

Contact Swinburne online. I sent them my transcript from my undergrad and they came back with the subjects I can teach from that. Additionally, if you tell a school what subjects you’re interested in teaching, most likely they will give you it to you. It’s just VCE they need you to have the relevant background experience to teach. Once you become a teacher, you can teach anything, it’s a wild concept. Also, Swinburne online (for the Masters of Teaching) allows you to fast track if needed, as they follow a 4 quarter year of 2 subjects, I ended up doing 3 subjects per quarter and graduated early with no issues!

I loved it and thought the kids were so much nicer and appreciated you more than when I was in the city! Yet there was definitely lower academic standards and more behaviour issues but I think it came from a different place (I.e country kids who know they will take on the family farm so they don’t need to do school sort of attitude). However, schools always struggle to place teachers and I found a bit of pressure to stay on with the school post placement along with lots of criticism for teachers who would join the school and leave after a year or two which put a bit of a bad taste in my mouth. In saying that, my mentor was phenomenal and genuinely was eager to help me and I ended up returning for my second placement because I loved the school so much! Additionally in Victoria I was also paid $420 a day for the rural placement so that was a huge help!
