Program focus

In this innovative and flexible program, graduates will develop the ability to design and deliver effective teaching programs for a diverse range of learners. A suite of core courses, that are common to all specialisations, covers contemporary educator's development and knowledge, and prepares the student for their area of specialisation.

Specialisations

Students can select from five sector specialisations:

  • Early Childhood (Fraser Coast, Springfield, Toowoomba)

  • Primary (Fraser Coast, Springfield, Toowoomba)

  • Secondary (Fraser Coast, Springfield, Toowoomba)

  • Special Education (Fraser Coast, Springfield, Toowoomba)

  • Sport, Health and Physical Education - Primary (Fraser Coast, Springfield, Toowoomba)

  • Sport, Health and Physical Education - Secondary (Fraser Coast, Springfield, Toowoomba)


Career opportunities

Graduates of the Bachelor of Education program will be well qualified for employment as teachers in schools in Queensland, elsewhere in Australia and in many overseas jurisdictions, subject to local requirements.

Graduates from particular specialisations will also be well qualified for employment as teachers in Primary or Secondary schools, in Child Care, Kindergarten and Pre-School contexts (Early Childhood); in Special Education and/or Disability Services and/or Human Services (Special Education); in sports administration, sports marketing, sports coaching, fitness and lifestyle coaching, leisure management, as a sports trainer or in community activities and groups (Sport, Health and Physical Education) in a range of alternative education settings and in the diverse and expanding post-compulsory sector (Vocational Education).

Further career opportunities exist in many emerging fields where, in conjunction with other attributes and qualifications, teaching-related skills are critical, including career opportunities available in industry, particularly in the roles and functions related to training.
