Do you like the idea of being a role model and leader to the next generation, and maybe someone's favourite teacher some day?  

If so, it sounds like you could be open to a career in education!  

Teachers play such an important role in the lives of young people, whether it’s simply by being a mentor or by helping them to discover their passion.  

Whether you're inspired to teach young children, guide primary students, or lead in secondary classrooms, our courses are designed to help you become a confident, capable, and compassionate educator. 

But it’s not just learning from a textbook, you’ll get experiences that help to get you in the feel of working in a real classroom, like the SimLab, an innovative virtual reality technology which mimics a real classroom allowing you to practice teaching techniques, manage different personalities in a classroom, and manage challenge situations in a risk-free environment.  

Once you’ve honed your skills in the virtual world, you will take your learnings out to the real world through a prac placement in a school, giving you a chance to work in dynamic classroom environments which represent the real world you’ll be working in one day.  

All of these learning experiences will equip you with everything you need to head out into the teaching world full of confidence, ready to shape the next generation.  

The places you could go  

The course in education you choose to study will determine the type of classroom you might find yourself in once you’ve finished your studies.  

If a Bachelor of Education (Early Childhood and Primary Teaching) is the path for you, you will gain you the skills needed to play a key role in shaping students at the very start of their learning journey, creating a nurturing and supportive classroom environment which will provide the foundation for their future education. 

A Bachelor of Education (Primary) degree will set you up to be an important part of early learning experiences, where you can express your creative teaching styles to young students.  

A Bachelor of Education (Secondary) degree will put you in an important position, entrusted with helping students to develop their critical thinking skills which they will carry through the rest of their lives, giving them the essential skills needed to undertake further studies or to enter the workforce.  

By choosing to a qualification in Secondary teaching, you will specialise in an area you are passionate about, with 10 unique majors to choose from to suit your passions. You can also choose a second teaching area as a minor to get an extra leg up when you enter the workforce.

Regardless of the pathway you choose, you will finish your studies with everything you need to make an impact within the classroom.
