Why study Bachelor of Visual Arts and Bachelor of Education?

The Bachelor of Visual Arts and Bachelor of Education (Primary) double degree is well suited to students who want to develop their artistic skills in one or more visual media, who are looking towards a career in the creative and visual arts, or who want to share their passion and creativity with others by taking up a career in visual arts education. You will complete a major (eight units) and a minor (four units) sequence in visual arts, combined with your studies in primary education. Visual arts studies can be taken in painting, sculpture, printmedia, photomedia, theory of art and design, and visual arts studio. You will develop your skills and creativity as you progress through the program, learning from active practitioners in visual art.

The education studies provide you with a comprehensive knowledge of the theoretical foundations of education, curriculum studies and practical teaching experience.

Students will be required to undertake their primary education units at both Peninsula and Clayton campuses during the four years, whilst the Visual Arts units will be undertaken at Caulfield.

Primary education studies focus on teaching and children's learning in a social setting, covering the disciplines of the arts, English, mathematics, health and physical education, science, the humanities and information and communication technologies.

Students undertake a minimum of 80 days of supervised teaching placement in schools or other appropriate settings, which may include some overseas locations. The faculty's partnerships and placements office organise each placement. These placements give students vital teaching experience as well as connecting the theoretical components of their studies with the practical aspects of teaching. Placements occur throughout the program, and the duration of placements vary as the program progresses, increasing as skills, knowledge and confidence improve. By the end of the professional placements, students will be experienced teaching in front of a class and ready to start their teaching career.
