Bachelor of Business and Commerce / Bachelor of Education for 2009

Course overview

The Business and Commerce/Education double degree provides the skills and expertise to pursue careers in primary teaching and business and commerce. Studying education and business and commerce at the same time, graduates are presented with a myriad of job options. Primary education studies provide in-depth knowledge of the theoretical foundations of education, curriculum studies and practical experiences in schools and other appropriate settings. Core primary units focus on teaching and children's learning in a social setting, covering the key learning areas including arts, English, mathematics, health and physical education, science, studies of society and environment (SOSE), and technology. The business and commerce degree provides a broad foundation in business studies, and allows specialisation in one or more areas. Students study core units in introductory accounting, introductory microeconomics, business statistics, business law, managing people and organisations, and marketing. Students also complete a major (eight units) and minor (four units) sequence in business disciplines, plus units from the Bachelor of Education.

Career outlook

This double degree enables graduates to work as school teachers and in a range of professional roles in business, industry, the public sector and international organisations depending on their specialisation. Graduates are qualified to teach in Victoria, although registration with VIT will be necessary. Graduates wishing to teach interstate or overseas are advised to check registration requirements with local authorities.
