Bachelor of Education (Honours)

The Bachelor of Education (Honours) course will prepare you for a career as a skilled, critical and effective teacher and educator in the early childhood, primary and secondary sectors, or a combination of these.

You will build a high level of expertise in one of seven specialisations:

• Early childhood and primary education
• Primary education (single degree and double degree course)
• Primary and secondary education
• Primary and secondary health and physical education
• Primary and secondary inclusive and special education
• Secondary health and physical education
• Secondary education (double degree only).

The course will prepare you for teaching in an increasingly diverse, complex and changing world. You will engage with contemporary ideas and practices and learn how to foster the learning of children and young people with varied needs. This will enable you to develop your students' creative, intellectual, physical, personal and social capabilities.

While learning to navigate the complex nature of teaching, you will develop the specific professional knowledge and teaching skills needed to engage students of various ages and developmental stages with particular school subjects. Depending upon your specialisation, you will develop the skills and knowledge needed to teach in learning areas such as the arts and music, English, mathematics, humanities, physical education, health and wellbeing, science, and digital technologies. Professional experience offered throughout the course in urban, rural, remote or international locations and education settings, will build your knowledge of teaching and learning. As a result, you will become a thoughtful, effective and inclusive educator, able to design learning experiences that ensure that your future students have the right balance of challenge and support.

The Bachelor of Education (Honours) prepares you for the global workforce. You will have a strong foundation for decision making about your practice and you will be in a position to establish yourself as an educational leader of the future.
