Curtin University

Perth , Western Australia ,Australia

Bachelor of Educational Studies

The field of education includes a range of professional roles that require a comprehensive understanding of the education curriculum and advanced communication skills.

In this degree, you will learn about the field of education from the perspective of someone who isn’t intending to seek registration as a qualified school teacher.

You’ll explore the core learning areas of the curriculum and learn how to respond to the diverse needs of students.

You’ll examine mentoring, leadership, and research within an educational environment. This knowledge is useful for those working in education administration and management teams. You can specialize in early years and primary education or in secondary education.

After you graduate from this course, if you are interested in seeking registration as a qualified teacher, you can apply for entry into our initial teacher education courses and apply for Credit for Recognised Learning for units you have completed.

Please note: this course is not accredited by the Teacher Registration Board of Western Australia. The course is therefore not suited to those who wish to register as a teacher.

You’re considered someone with work and life experience if:

You have left secondary education more than two years ago (i.e. who are not classified as recent secondary education applicants) and have not undertaken vocational education training (VET) or higher education study since then.

How we define ‘experience
‘Experience’ includes a combination of factors sufficient to demonstrate readiness for higher education such as mature-age entry, professional experience whether completion of the Special Tertiary Admission Test (STAT) is required or not, community involvement or work experience. Applicants may have undertaken non-formal programs that have helped prepare them for tertiary education or are relevant to the proposed higher education field of study.

You’re considered someone who studied at TAFE or have done an apprenticeship if:

Applicants with vocational education and training (VET) study are those whose highest level of study since leaving secondary education is a VET course. This includes study at a public TAFE or other VET provider, whether a qualification was completed or not. Applicants with VET study may have other qualifications such as a Year 10 or Year 12 secondary school certificate.
