Rank or ATAR? Which number counts

About studying teacher education

Teaching degrees combine subject knowledge and teaching method with supervised placements in schools. To register as a teacher you need an accredited initial teacher education degree. Not every degree in this area is one, so check before you apply.

This describes the field in general, not this course. Check the university's page for what this course covers.

Getting into teacher education courses

Selection is primarily ATAR-based. Units 3 and 4 English is the usual prerequisite, and initial teacher education also requires a non-academic suitability assessment and a working with children check before placements.

This describes the field in general, not this course. Check the university's page for what this course covers.

These are the lowest rank and the lowest ATAR that got an offer in 2024, not a cut-off or a guarantee. Next year's depends on how many places there are and who applies. How ATARs really work · Didn't get the ATAR you needed?

Students are followed if they move: finishing a degree at another university counts as finishing, and moving to another university doesn't count as leaving. Read these alongside the quality measures, not instead of them. Completion and attrition partly reflect who a university enrols – universities serving more regional, mature-age and part-time students naturally run higher attrition without being worse at teaching.
