QUT Master of Teaching student Nick Blain is currently completing postgraduate study after working in Queensland hospitals for the past five years.
Choosing science and history as his teaching areas, Nick enjoys the flexibility of his degree and the chance to develop his skills in real-world settings.
“The lecturers and course leaders are always happy to help and incorporate their own experiences,” he said.
“I have a lot of experience in classrooms through different placements and I feel well equipped to take that into my future practice.”
Completing an internship in a Queensland state school will provide you with real-world experience and the chance to build your professional network.
