Print version

Course overview

The Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Education (Primary) combines specific studies with the theory and practice of primary teaching. The education degree provides a comprehensive knowledge of the theoretical foundations of education, curriculum studies and practical experiences in schools and other appropriate settings, with the opportunity to gain overseas or remote practical experiences. The course increases a graduate's career options and deepens their understanding of the areas they intend to teach in schools. Students' skills, knowledge and confidence are enhanced by the experiences gained from professional placements. A minimum of 80 days professional placements are required, with some being undertaken in each year of the course. The combination of Arts and Education studies is a popular choice, with many graduates teaching throughout Australia and overseas.

Students may select a variety of units from a range of more than 50 Arts disciplines available and have the opportunity in some courses of undertaking studies across multiple campuses. Primary education units are offered on the Peninsula or Gippsland campuses and arts units on Clayton or Gippsland campuses. Unit choice in Arts is dependent on the arts faculty offerings on each campus.
