Internships & Professional Experience
Murdoch, in collaboration with its ‘Partnership Schools’, offers a wide range of nationally recognised internship programs that provide for a full year immersion experience in the school, both within its Bachelor of Education and Graduate Diploma program.
Interns are actively sought out and successful in obtaining employment, as schools recognise and value the preparedness of pre-service teachers who do these programs. Fourth term pre-service teachers also have the option to work with a Limited Authority to Teach.
Murdoch understands that not all pre-service teachers are in a position to commit a whole school year to an internship, which is why we provide a range of other Professional Experience options for our students.
