Bachelor of Education in Primary Education (871)

The Bachelor of Education in Primary Education requires, as a pre-requisite, the successful completion of a Bachelor of Teaching in Primary Education or its equivalent. The course is designed to develop further the knowledge and skills acquired in the Bachelor of Teaching course. It can be completed on either a full-time or a part-time basis.

Completion of this program requires one year of full-time study or the equivalent of part time study (at least 2 years).

Some subjects will be offered after 3.30 pm to allow for students who are working during the day to take some of their course after school hours. Students who wish to attend university only in the evenings will need to enrol in the part-time mode. For details of the 2000 timetable, consult with the Director of the Primary Education Program.
