Teaching and Education

Bachelor of Education / Teaching

Program Overview

The Bachelor of Teaching program and Bachelor of Education in Australia prepare students to become confident, qualified, and classroom-ready educators across early childhood, primary, and secondary school settings. These degrees are nationally accredited and designed in alignment with Australian teaching standards, ensuring graduates gain strong knowledge in child development, curriculum planning, pedagogy, inclusive education, classroom management, and assessment practices. Alongside academic learning, students complete supervised professional placements that allow them to apply their skills in real classrooms and early-learning environments.

A major strength of Australian teaching degrees is their practical, industry-embedded approach. Students work closely with experienced teachers, participate in school-based projects, and develop the capability to support learners with diverse needs and backgrounds. Whether specialising in early childhood, primary, or secondary teaching, graduates are fully prepared to enter the education workforce and contribute meaningfully to the academic, social, and emotional development of children and young people.

Early Childhood Teaching (Birth to 5 Years)
Early Childhood Teaching focuses on learning and development from birth to five years, preparing students to work in childcare centres, preschools, and early-learning settings. This specialisation emphasises play-based learning, early literacy and numeracy, communication development, creativity, wellbeing, and inclusive education. Students learn to design nurturing, developmentally appropriate learning experiences that support children’s cognitive, emotional, and social growth. Graduates are eligible for roles as early childhood educators and teachers, helping shape the foundational years of a child’s life.
Primary Teaching prepares students to teach children in the early and middle years of school, typically from Grade 1 to Grade 6. This stream provides training across all key learning areas, including English, mathematics, science, humanities, arts, health, and physical education. Students develop skills in classroom management, lesson planning, assessment, and supporting diverse learners. Through placement experiences in primary schools, pre-service teachers learn how to deliver engaging lessons and foster a positive, inclusive learning environment. Graduates are qualified to work as generalist primary teachers, supporting children during crucial stages of academic and personal development.

Secondary Teaching equips students to teach older learners from approximately Grade 6 to Grade 12, specialising in subject areas such as mathematics, science, English, humanities, arts, or physical education. The program combines advanced subject knowledge with training in adolescent development, curriculum design, assessment, and effective teaching strategies tailored to teenagers. Professional placements in secondary schools ensure graduates gain experience delivering subject-specific lessons and managing diverse classroom settings. This specialisation prepares graduates for roles as high-school teachers capable of inspiring and guiding young adults through their senior schooling years.
