Overview

Bachelor of Education (Honours) in Primary Education and Bachelor of Arts

All applicants must sit Casper.

Your qualification will be a Bachelor of Education (Honours) in Primary Education

If you are looking forward to expanding the horizons of children and developing their capabilities as engaged, curious and active learners, then this specialisation is for you. It will qualify you to teach children from five to 12 years of age in primary schools.

While an education degree specialising in Primary Education provides a fine basis for your career as a teacher, you can choose to enhance your career options by studying it concurrently with a second degree in Arts, Business, Fine Art, Music or Science.

Education studies include contemporary child development, psychology and the social and cultural context of education. 

This will provide you with the foundations for implementing effective primary teaching practice across all curriculum areas, as you study how children of primary school age think and learn, and how they can be effectively and creatively taught.

You will be prepared to teach across the school curriculum with specialist expertise in either, English and literacy, or mathematics and numeracy. 

You will develop your discipline knowledge of English and literacies, mathematics, arts education, humanities and social education, science, health and physical education, and studies of the environment and sustainability. 

You'll also developing a rich repertoire of strategies for promoting children's learning and development, and for diagnosing and assessing their progress across these curriculum areas.

At least 80 days of professional experience will provide you with hands-on teaching practice in primary schools, and you will be well prepared for a future as a leading teacher in a range of primary school settings.

Within the Arts degree, a wide choice of majors and minors, spanning literary studies, politics, music, history, geography, sociology, indigenous studies, linguistics, film and screen, communications, and a range of language and cultural areas, will provide you with a rich repertoire of study pathways. 

Taken together with your education studies, these will prepare you for a highly rewarding career.

The graduates become leaders in teaching practice, but beyond this, they also lead in public debate, policy development and community action across the world. 

You can also pursue a career in a wide range of professions that draw on your major studies in arts and which are complemented by your education studies, perhaps publishing, editing and writing, community program development or education journalism.

All primary and secondary education specialisations are accredited by the Victorian Institute of Teaching (VIT) using the national accreditation standards. 

This means that these qualifications will be accepted for school teacher registration in Victoria and all other Australian states and territories.
