What will I learn?

This degree will put you on the path to a Master of Teaching, and a rewarding career as a primary-school teacher. Look forward to agency placements and field experience that will give you a real sense of what it’s like to teach. This course also gives you skills to explore your prospects beyond the classroom.

The smart path to teaching

Becoming a primary school teacher is a two-step process. First, complete the Bachelor of Arts (Pathway to Teaching Primary), then complete your Master of Teaching. When you have successfully completed these two degrees, you’ll be ready to take up a role as a qualified primary school teacher.

This course gives you a strong understanding of complex cultural, social and educational issues. It also allows you to choose from more than 20 majors, like Education, History, English and Philosophy, to name a few. It’s a great opportunity to explore a specialised discipline that will benefit your teaching career and sate your natural curiosity.

Look forward to hands-on experience at educational facilities as part of your course work, and emerge with the communication skills, creativity, capacity for independent thought, and adaptability you need to thrive in the real world.

As well as preparing you to become a primary teacher, this degree is a springboard to other careers outside of teaching, like communication and media industries, psychology and counselling, cultural and social policy analysis, writing and publishing.

Your career

Go on to complete your Master of Teaching (Primary) and become a primary school teacher.

Or open to the door to a great career in policy work, curriculum development, administration, and a host of opportunities specific to your chosen major.
