Bachelor of Education
The Bachelor of Education qualifies you to be a teacher in Australia, and many countries overseas. Our evidence-based course draws on the Faculty of Education’s leadership and research in teacher education that is responsive to local and global contexts.
Graduates will be qualified as a teacher in one of the following five areas:
Early Childhood/Primary (6 weeks to Year 6);
Primary (Kindergarten/Prep to Year 6); English Primary Specialisation and specialisation in Science and Maths available
Primary/Secondary (English Primary Specialisation and one Secondary specialisation);
Secondary (Two teaching specialisations); or
Secondary: Design and Technology (choose from Industrial Technology, or Food and Fibre, plus one Secondary specialisation).
The first year of the course provides a distinctive foundation with excellent grounding in literacy, numeracy, and subject content, as well as issues in contemporary education.
Within the four-year full-time equivalent degree (or 3.5 years fast tracked*), you also undertake core learning in Indigenous education, sustainability, inclusive (special) education, along with curriculum and pedagogy learning across disciplines.
All primary and secondary students across Australia need to successfully complete the Literacy and Numeracy Test for Initial Teacher Education Students (LANTITE) prior to undertaking the second professional experience placement.
