Hi I'm graduating at the end of this year and have a passion for physics and teaching. Just wondering which courses to do for physics teaching. If there isn't one as such, how would I get into it?

Education/Science at USYD. Alternatively, just do Science and look into Education after you graduate.

Usually you need a degree in elementary education, or a specific science (earth science, biology, chemistry, physics) and an education degree for elementary, middle, or high school teaching.
In addition to a degree, you will also need to take your states teacher examinations, get finger printed , and apply on your states dept. of edu. site for teacher certification.
Good Luck

You should have at least a Bachelors degree with a specialization in the subject you intend to teach. Although there are alternate routes for teaching today, it is strongly recommended that you acquire a teachers state certification.

Teaching certification varies tremendously from state to state and even within each state, so it would be impossible for anyone to give you an answer that would be meaningful for the whole United States.
Perhaps if you told us where you would like to teach, you can get some helpful answers.

All degrees that relate to HSC subjects need at least a Dip Ed- one year- to allow you to teach. Many unis want you to do a masters in education, which is 2 years.
Having a physic degree is rare which is why they are so employable. Look up Teach NSW facebook page. there are even paid retraining courses to get science teachers to train in physics. VERY employable.
