Bachelor of Visual Arts / Bachelor of Education for 2009

Course overview

Teaching is a recognised and well-regarded career path for visual art graduates. In addition to art education, graduates of visual arts/education may practise professionally in one or more art media, or may become involved in art gallery activities, cultural programs, or a range of art and design industry activities. Studies in secondary education include adolescent learning, curriculum development, assessment, language and literacy and education units related to visual arts education. Students gain an understanding of the nature of education, classroom teaching and practice in schools, and the relationship between education and society, and gain extensive practical experience. Students complete a major (three years) and minor (two years) sequence in visual arts, as well as the core and elective units in education, undertaking the course between the Clayton (secondary education units) and Caulfield (visual arts units) campuses.

Career outlook
