Double Degree - Bachelor of Education (Primary) & Bachelor of Arts (3114) (045114G)

The Bachelor of Arts component of this double degree will give students a depth of knowledge. Students will study a Major in an area such as English Literature, Social Justice, Politics and International Relations, History, Archaeology or Theatre Studies which will give them in-depth, specialist knowledge and skills that will allow students to inspire and guide young students in the classroom and contribute to the cultural and intellectual life of society.

The Arts component will also develop their ability to analyze, interpret, deliberate, draw conclusions, communicate, work as a team member and problem-solve. Students will be able to consider multiple perspectives and handle ambiguity and uncertainty. These are the skills needed in the creative industries of the 21st century workplace.

The practical component of this degree involves 32 weeks of teaching practice spread across five years. This extensive teaching apprenticeship provides a total immersion in the classroom environment, exposing students to the lived experience of a teacher.
