Course overview

The Bachelor of Educational Studies from Charles Sturt University can help you get where you want to go - it could be a way to get into your first accredited teaching degree – whether you’re a school leaver who didn’t quite get their expected ATAR, are transitioning from TAFE/VET or are looking to upgrade previous university study. While the Bachelor of Educational Studies is not a professional teaching qualification in itself, it can provide the first step on a path to becoming a primary or secondary teacher. Complete the Bachelor of Educational Studies then go on to the Master of Teaching (Primary) or Master of Teaching (Secondary). If you're a teacher's aide you can use this course to take your career to the next level and become a qualified teacher in as little as three years.
