Introduction
Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Teaching (Primary)
Course Overview
The Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Teaching (Primary) (BA/BTch (Primary)) is a highly practical course with hands-on classroom experience from the second year of full-time study. The degree not only qualifies and prepares graduates to competently teach from Foundation to Year 6, but also to be responsible and ethical leaders to children who need positive role models. During the course, you will engage in five professional experience opportunities. These are undertaken at various schools to enable the application of theory in a practical setting. You may also be able to undertake an overseas professional experience.
