Course overview

The Bachelor of Education (P-12) is a four-year, full-time teacher education course that examines the continuum of education and provides you with sufficient background, skills, and knowledge to teach from Preparatory year (Foundation) through to Year 12. It also provides a community and school-based approach to teacher education, with significant opportunities for students to pursue a range of teaching methods. Throughout the course, you will work in primary and secondary settings to complete at least 100 days of supervised teaching practice. This partnership between schools and the university provides the context through which you will engage in a praxis inquiry model that links practice and theory. In Year 4 of the course, you will participate in an extended placement in a primary setting.
