Program Description

Help give children their best start in life. The Bachelor of Education (Early Childhood and Primary) qualifies you to teach children from their birth up to the age of 12. It equips you to inspire and help them develop lifelong learning skills within inclusive environments that encourage and nurture diversity.

You’ll choose a specialist teaching area from English, maths, or religious education and your professional experience placements will be conducted in both early childhood and primary education settings. You may also have an opportunity to complete a community engagement unit overseas where you will spend time with local communities and experience an international classroom.

There may be additional costs by this University.
