come on, you've made it to year 12, but you don't know how to perform a simple google search.

UNSW Handbook Program - Science/Education - 4075
etc

EDIT: I'm not sure if you can combine it with primary ed.

 

[Lynns]

yeah i saw that one; but its only for secondary education. not primary

My understanding of education degrees is that you can only do doubles with secondary ed, not primary.

Though I am not an ed student...

oh really?
that sucks so bad..
because i want to be a primary school teacher, but i want to learn about psychology.. not wishing to be a registered psychologist or anything.. but a major in psych so i can at least be school counsellor or something.
and i want to do it in the science degree instead of arts..

B Arts (Psych)/ DipEd at Macquarie is probably the closest you'll get.

Alternately, you could do a straight B Science and then graduate teaching. You'll have to check for the other unis, but USYD will accept you into M Teaching (primary) if you've done a certain number of prerequisite subject areas (see here), so you'd probably have to plan carefully and incorporate some humanities stuff into your science degree.

Thank you Lilly for your suggestion. That was the one I saw as well, as close as it can get. And did you mean, get into single degree B science then graduate teaching ? how do I do that ? How can you graduate teaching from the science degree :O im lost , sorry =P

OOH did you mean, do science degree first , finish it then start teaching degree? then graduate then do Masters?
