Bachelor of Education (Graduate Entry)

The Bachelor of Education (Graduate Entry) is a teacher education course that aligns with the Australian Professional Standards for Graduating Teachers. This two-year course offers specialised professional knowledge and skills in teacher education for those who have a non-education Bachelor degree. The program is designed to develop professional knowledge and skills to prepare students for new and changing educational roles as educators; to develop reflective practitioner skills; to ensure continuing awareness of the environmental and cultural influences on teaching and learning, and to better understand the needs of learners and communities with diverse linguistic and cultural orientations, including Indigenous learners. Graduates of this course will possess levels of personal literacy and numeracy broadly equivalent to the top 30% of the population. Primary teaching stream offers primary specialisations in subject areas. Applicants can apply for one of three educational streams: early childhood/primary teaching, primary teaching and secondary teaching. The early childhood and primary teaching stream has an early childhood focus yet is designed to allow graduands the flexibility for teaching in either early childhood or primary school settings. This course will also be suited to those who are seeking to upgrade their teaching qualifications in either early childhood, primary or secondary school teaching. Teacher Professional Assessment (TPA) would be met during the course. Students are encouraged to review the employer eligibility requirements as they can vary state to state.
