This course is only available via internal course transfer (subject to approval from the course coordinator) to students who were originally admitted to C10480 Bachelor of Education Futures Master of Teaching in Primary Education.
This course is not a NESA recognised teaching qualification and does not qualify graduates to teach. However, students who complete this course may consider roles in educational fields such as: health education, environmental education, youth and community work, museum education, union organising, teaching aides, curriculum development, education policy, or educational games development.
Through the core subjects, students are introduced to a broad range of foundational knowledge for professional work in the fields of sustainability and the environment, technology and society, science and society, social justice and inclusion, and health promotion and physical activity. They gain broad knowledge about educational programming, assessment and reporting, and the future of education in the diverse and complex landscape of professional practice. They also develop a critical orientation to the production of knowledge, and engage with cross-cultural understandings of multiple worldviews and knowledges. Through the electives, students can gain knowledge and skills in fields such as creative arts, modern languages, science and technology, English, and mathematics.

Innovation and Transdisciplinary program
Transdisciplinarity and Innovation at UTSAll UTS students have the opportunity to develop distinctive capabilities around transdisciplinary thinking and innovation through the TD School. Transdisciplinary education at UTS brings together great minds from different disciplines to explore ideas that improve the way we live and work in the world. These offerings are unique to UTS and directly translate to many existing and emerging roles and careers.
Diploma in InnovationThe Diploma in Innovation (C20060) teaches innovation, supports personal transformation and provides the hard skills needed to support the inventors and inventions of the future. Students come out of the Diploma in Innovation, with the hard skills to create and support sectoral and societal transformation. Graduates are able to fluently integrate ideas, across professional disciplines and are inventors of the future.
All UTS undergraduate students (with the exception of students concurrently enrolled in the Bachelor of Creative Intelligence and Innovation) can apply for the Diploma in Innovation upon admission in their chosen undergraduate degree. It is a complete degree program that runs in parallel to any undergraduate degree. The course is offered on a three-year, part-time basis, with subjects running in 3-week long intensive blocks in July, December and February sessions. More information including a link to apply is available at https://dipinn.uts.edu.au.
Transdisciplinary electives programTransdisciplinary electives broaden students' horizons and supercharge their problem-solving skills, helping them to learn outside, beyond and across their degrees. Students enrolled in an undergraduate course that includes electives can choose to take a transdisciplinary subject (with the exception of students concurrently enrolled in the Bachelor of Creative Intelligence and Innovation). More information about the TD Electives program is available here.
