UOW Science teachers have practical teaching skills and a high-level knowledge of science. Science Education at UOW qualifies you to be a high school science teacher. The Bachelor of Science Education (Dean's Scholar) is a program for high-achieving students who wish to continue their studies through honours and research degrees.
