BACHELOR OF TEACHING IN PRIMARY EDUCATION (880)

The Bachelor of Teaching in Primary Education is a three year full-time course aimed at developing reflective, professional teachers who, at graduation, can work effectively in a variety of educational settings including primary schools in both the public and private sectors. The course involves both academic studies and practical teaching experiences in each year. The details relating to practice teaching requirements are noted in the subject descriptions for Curriculum and Pedagogy I, Curriculum and Pedagogy II and Curriculum and Pedagogy III.

The academic subjects studied in the course are drawn from four strands: Education Foundation Studies, Studies in the Key Learning Areas, Studies in Curriculum and Pedagogy and Elective Studies. Elective choices are available from both within the Faculty and from the schedules of subjects offered by other Faculties. Year one of the schedule requires students to complete 12 credit points of elective studies outside the Faculty of Education.

The schedule below shows the normal rate of progress through the course. While it is possible to complete the course on a part-time basis, students need to be aware that there could be timetable difficulties. Students intending to attempt the degree part-time should consult with the Director of Primary Education at enrolment.
