Entry Requirments:

To get the Bachelor of Education (Early Childhood and Primary), students have to finish 32 units of study worth 400 credit points (12.5 credit points each). These things must make up the 400 credit points:

• At least one of the 32 core units (400 credit points) must be a specialization (Mathematics or English)

• EDU30067 must be done by students who want to finish English Specialization (instead of EDU30063)

• Students who want to finish their Math Specialization must finish EDU30066 (instead of EDU30009)

Before they finish 200 credit points of study, students are also responsible for setting up and passing the National Literacy and Numeracy Test for Initial Teacher Education Students (LANTITE) through the Australian Council for Education Research, which usually takes three tries.

In accordance with Academic Courses Regulation 62(2), the Bachelor of Education (Early Childhood and Primary) has the following additional academic progress rules on top of the standard ones:

1. A student is "at risk" of not making enough progress if they: (a) act in a way that goes against the Swinburne Student Charter while on a teaching placement; or (b) don't make enough progress in other ways.

(b) fail to take both parts of the National Literacy and Numeracy Test (LANTITE) before earning 100 credit points.

2. A student is making "unsatisfactory progress" if they: (a) don't pass the National Literacy and Numeracy Test (LANTITE) before completing 200 credit points of studies or after three tries; or don't pass the test after completing 200 credit points of studies or after three tries.

(b) They fail a Teaching Placement unit. (c) A school ends their teaching placement early. If a school ends a student's teaching placement early, the student will be considered to be making "unsatisfactory progress," and a progress review process will begin within two weeks.
