Overview

Bachelor of Primary Education

Primary teaching is a rewarding profession that can change lives. 

A primary teacher educates children from Kindergarten to Year 6 (ages 5 to 12 years) and teaches all areas of the Australian primary curriculum. 

UOW Bachelor of Primary Education graduates focus on educating the 'whole child' and promoting lifelong learning in children.

This degree is a nationally accredited qualification for employment as a Kindergarten to Year 6 teacher in the public and independent school systems. 

You will learn through on-campus classes, online learning, and school and community placements. 

The extensive professional experience program involves placement in schools from the second year of your degree, allowing you to learn by observation and apply your skills in the classroom early in your degree.

During your studies, you will have opportunities for rural and international professional experiences, to study overseas with UOW's international exchange and study abroad partners, and to join international cultural immersion programs.

Further your studies with a Master of Autism

This study option combines an undergraduate and postgraduate degree, allowing you to progress directly from the Bachelor of Primary Education into the Master of Autism.
