Entry to Teaching Courses for 2018 The number of Victorian university graduates applying to become teachers has fallen nearly 40% in a year. This drop has triggered concerns about potential teacher shortages into the future. Requirements for getting into a teaching course will rise this year, with ATAR’s set at a minimum of 65 for 2018 and 70 in 2019. From this year, Victorian universities will only be allowed to offer two-year graduate entry initial teacher education programs, instead of one-year courses which were known as the Diploma of Education. This may have deterred some students from pursuing a teaching career, although the difficulty in finding full-time work could be a contributor as well. The new compulsory literacy and numeracy test and a separate test which will now be used by many Victorian universities for entry to education courses to measure non-academic skills like problem solving, leadership, empathy and resilience (known at CASPer) may also put off students. CASPer (Computer-Based Assessment for Sampling Personal Characteristics) is an admissions test developed in Canada which assesses non-cognitive or non-academic attributes in an online format in the pre-screening stage of the application process. The cost to complete this test will be $80.00. NOTE: More details of this test will be provided as they become available.

Victorian College of the Arts (VCA) New Degrees The VCA is pleased to announce that in 2018 it will be offering two new degrees for aspiring actors and theatre-makers.

NOTE: The VCA is a part of the University of Melbourne, located in Southbank.

Date Change: Medicine & Biomedical Science Students are advised that the Medicine & Biomedical Science seminar

originally scheduled for Tuesday 16 May, 2017 has been changed to Monday 5 June 2017. Register at Inside Monash

dental education: the Bachelor of Science (Advanced) and Doctor of Dental Medicine.

News from Swinburne New Bachelor of Engineering Practice (Honours)

Swinburne will be releasing a new Bachelor of Engineering Practice (Honours) degree from 2018.

Entry to the degree will be based on interview rather than ATAR results and assessment will be based on individual performance within a team rather than on exams. The degree will run alongside the existing Bachelor of Engineering (Honours), and will conform to the requirements for accreditation by Engineers Australia and students will graduate as engineers. Students should note that any maths is acceptable. Find out more at Bachelor of Engineering Practice (Honours)

Bundoora.

• Bachelor of Biomedical Science (Laboratory Medicine) – The vital role that medical laboratory scientists play in the healthcare system to combat superbugs was highlighted at a recent TedX Texas State university conference.

• Explore Asia through RMIT Vietnam – You can cross-campus at RMIT Vietnam for up to a year without increasing your tuition or extending your program.

RMIT Vietnam is the Asian hub of RMIT University, with two well-equipped campuses in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi. Programs on offer are: business, creative design and technology.

NOTE: A number of other Victorian universities also have overseas campuses where part of a degree can be studied. In addition, all universities have ‘partner’ overseas universities where part of a Victorian degree can be completed (eg a semester). Universities encourage this option, and will assist with organising placements. They will sometimes assist with travel costs as well. An advantage of this program is that the fees for completing the overseas placement remain the same as they would be if the student was studying in Victoria.

Profile of Myotherapy/Massage Therapy Students often enquire about what Myotherapy is, where one can study for it and the possible pre-requisite studies.

A Myotherapist usually assesses and treats patients with postural problems, with the aim of restoring the body to its ideal state. This generally involves the manual

realignment of muscles, joints, ligaments, and tissues which have become damaged or misaligned. Often Myotherapists plan, apply and assess massage treatment in the health care and soft tissue treatment industries. Myotherapy is offered at several institutions including Australian College of Sports Therapy, Box Hill Institute, Chisholm Institute, Holmesglen Institute, RMIT, and Southern School of Natural Therapies, to name a few. For most institutions, there are no pre-requisite VCE studies.
