Why study Bachelor of Visual Arts and Bachelor of Education?

The Bachelor of Visual Arts and Bachelor of Education (Secondary) 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 secondary education. Visual arts studies can be taken in painting, sculpture, printmedia, photomedia and theory of art and design. 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.

Secondary education studies include adolescent learning, curriculum development, assessment, language and literacy and curriculum specialism units based on your studies in visual arts, which can give you a double curriculum teaching specialism in visual arts. You will gain an understanding of the nature of education, classroom teaching and practice in schools, and the relationship between education and society.

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.

The double degree Bachelor of Visual Arts/Bachelor of Education (Secondary) requires the successful completion of units totalling 204 credit points. The study equivalent to achieve 204 credit points would normally be 4.25 years of full time study; however this course 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.
