The Bachelor of Arts (Western Civilisation)/Master of Teaching (Secondary) is a Teacher Education course that is both rigorous and stimulating. Our intellectual program provides you the option of combining a liberal arts degree in western civilisation and a teaching course.
This innovative pathway allows you to become a secondary school teacher with a teaching major in Archaeology, Drama, Geography, Environment and Society, History, Mathematics, Study of Religions or Visual Arts.
Offers will be made to high achieving applicants based on school results and will also be assessed against other criteria.
ACU offers up to 30 Ramsay Scholarships to students undertaking a Western Civilisation degree, generously funded by the Ramsay Centre.
