Bachelor of Education

The degree is offered as a 4-year full-time equivalent program (or up to 8 years part-time).

You can choose from five teaching pathways:

1. Early Childhood / Primary
2. Primary (with English specialisation and optional Science/Maths specialisations)
3. Primary / Secondary (with English primary specialisation plus one secondary specialisation)
4. Secondary (with two subject specialisations)
5. Secondary: Design & Technology (Industrial Technology or Food & Fibre + another subject)

• The first year lays strong foundations in literacy, numeracy, subject content, and contemporary educational issues.
• Across the program you’ll engage with key themes such as Indigenous education, sustainability, inclusive and special education, curriculum design, and pedagogical strategies.
• A major feature is professional experience placements: hours in real classrooms or early childhood settings, depending on your specialisation (e.g. up to 110 days / 880 hours for Early Childhood / Primary).
• To qualify for the award, you must complete 32 units (384 credit points) plus required placement units.
• Students begin by attempting the Literacy and Numeracy Test for Initial Teacher Education (LANTITE) in their first year (a national requirement for future teachers in Australia).
• The degree is accredited by key professional bodies: NESA (NSW), QCT (Queensland), and for early childhood via ACECQA.
