Teaching is a recognised and well-regarded career path for visual art graduates. In addition to art education, graduates of this double degree may practise professionally in one or more art mediums, or may become involved in art gallery activities, cultural programs, or in a range of art and design industry roles.
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 gain valuable classroom experience by completing a minimum of 80 days of professional placement, with some placement being undertaken in each year of the course.
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.
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.
Following registration with VIT graduates are eligible to teach in Victorian secondary schools and are able to specialise in art, graphics and media subjects. Graduates wishing to teach interstate or overseas are advised to check registration requirements with local authorities. Professional opportunities are also available in painting, sculpture, print media, metals and jewellery, tapestry, photo media, ceramics, and glass.
