As a teacher, you have the opportunity to influence a whole generation of thinkers. Will you help to create new leaders and decision-makers, or help a student forge their own path, whatever that may be? Or perhaps you'll channel your passion for sport, language or science and teach others to do the same. Whether you're teaching children or adults, you'll be there for the 'aha' moments in the classroom. These moments are the evidence that you've ignited the spark for learning, and that you're making a real difference in your students' lives and communities.

Where could a teaching degree take you?

With a degree in teaching from Murdoch, you'll learn to become a resilient and confident teacher, who makes an impact locally and within the global community. You will also join a community of proud alumni who have been doing the same since 1975. The demand for teachers will continue to grow locally and internationally. You could be working as an early childhood educator, a teacher in government and non-government primary and high schools, or in the tertiary and adult education sector.
