Course overviewSecondary school teachers are specialists in one or more areas within a school curriculum, allowing them to focus on subjects and issues of personal interest. The Monash double degree gives students the ability to deepen their understanding of the areas they intend to teach in schools by offering a choice of more than 50 subject areas within the Bachelor of Arts. This approach enables students to also pursue professional development opportunities in business, industry, government or the community as well as teaching. Dependent on the arts faculty offerings on each campus, students undertake arts studies in humanities, social science and communication, together with core education units and electives that provide a comprehensive knowledge of the theoretical foundations of education and curriculum studies. Students put their learning into action through practical experiences, completing a minimum of 80 days of professional placements in secondary schools and other settings, including opportunities for overseas or remote practical experiences. This double degree requires the study equivalent of 4.25 years of full time study (204 credit points), however it has been structured to allow completion in just 4 years full-time or 8 years part-time. This is made possible by the incorporation of a 12 credit point study overload in the final year of the course.
