Be a critical thinker, not a narrow specialist. You’ll have the opportunity to develop your understanding of teaching, learning and contemporary education issues, alongside an Arts major of your choice.
When you successfully complete the 16-month diploma from The College, you gain guaranteed entry into the second year of the Bachelor of Arts (Pathway to Teaching Secondary) at Western Sydney University.
To apply, you won’t need an ATAR; all you need are ambition and the determination to work hard.

That includes smaller class sizes with greater access to one-on-one teaching and support.
