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 2025, 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?

Do students stay and finish?
Source: Dept of Education, 2024Of students who started at UWA in 2016, nine years later:
- Finished a degree
- 82.3%
- Still studying
- 2.8%
- Left after returning
- 10.7%
- Never came back after first year
- 4.2%
More recently: of new UWA bachelor students in 2023, 8.4% didn't come back to study at any university the following year.
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. What completion rates tell you
What it costs, next to what graduates earn
Total student contribution:4 years × $4,908/year ≈ $19,600Estimate
The Australian government sets this rate by field of study, so it is the same at every university in the country – UWA did not set it and cannot discount it. Your exact total depends on the subjects you pick. Paid through HELP once you're earning, not upfront. How HECS-HELP works
- Typical starting salary (all UWA graduates)

- Typical salary three years on (all UWA graduates)
