There are a variety of study options for a bachelor of education, including on-campus, online and blended. On successful completion of your degree, you’ll be able to work in a range of classroom contexts, including primary school, early childhood, health and physical education, and disability inclusion. You’ll find these career opportunities in a wide range of state, catholic and independent education sectors.
Study is a highly personalised choice, and you deserve to have all the information you need to choose a course that suits your needs and goals.

What Is A Bachelor Of Education?

A Bachelor of education is a higher education degree that qualifies graduates to teach in a wide variety of early childhood education and/or primary school settings.

Not only is it the most direct pathway into a teaching job, this degree also sets you up for success in your career through a mix of in-class theory and supervised professional experience.

There are a variety of specialisations you can undertake during a bachelor of education, including:

  • General Primary
  • Early Childhood
  • Disability Inclusion
  • Physical Education and Sport

If you choose to study a Bachelor of Education with a focus on primary teaching, you’ll also get to choose a teaching specialisation. Your specialisation could be:

  • Science
  • Literacy
  • Mathematics
  • Languages

The key learning outcomes in each type of specialisation differ slightly, but you’ll graduate any bachelor of education with the soft skills required to engage and inspire a class, and the technical skills required to help kids learn and grow.

How Long Does A Bachelor Of Education Take?

A bachelor of education takes four years to complete if you’re studying full-time. If you’re planning to study part-time, you can expect to graduate with your degree in eight years. If you’re very keen to make a start in the education industry, some institutes offer accelerated study which means you’ll complete your degree in 3.5 years.

While the duration of study may seem — on paper — like a lengthy commitment, most courses offer up to 23 weeks of supervised professional experience during your studies. That means you’ll be teaching in a classroom setting before you even graduate.

How Many Units In Bachelor Of Education?

There are 32 units in a bachelor of education, regardless of the specialisation. The units you’ll study will include a mix of core units, specialisation units and professional experience units.

How Much Does A Bachelor Of Education Cost?

Bachelor of education fees vary significantly depending on the institute, so for an accurate quote it’s best to chat to a student advisor. As a ballpark figure, you could be looking at paying anywhere from $3000 to $6000 per year.

You may not have to pay these fees out of pocket if you’re eligible for a Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP). As a CSP student, you’re eligible to apply for a HECS-HELP loan, which means you can defer some or all of your fees until you’re earning above a threshold (determined by the Australian government).

Is Bachelor Of Education Hard?

The difficulty-level of a Bachelor of Education is subjective — it will be different for everyone. Based on the length and requirements of study, you should be prepared to commit a significant amount of time in and out of class to understand and practice this degree’s teachings.

On average, it’s recommended you commit 150 hours (including class-time) to each unit you undertake in a bachelor of education. Many students and graduates of this degree say the time commitment is overall the biggest challenge of their studies.

Like any degree, you’ll find some units fairly easy, while others will challenge you. For the most part, students and graduates of a bachelor of education believe the course content is easy enough to understand, and advise asking for help when you need it.

Learning Outcomes

On the successful completion of the Bachelor of Education (Primary), you can expect to have a whole host of skills, readying you for a career in the classroom.

These skills include being creative when forming assignments and teaching approaches for the students, as well as self-reflecting on how you can improve their teaching habits each year.

You will also be able to understand where to get the best information and resources and what technologies might best suit your students’ learning. You’ll know where to go to gather this information and make an informed judgement. This includes an understanding of what type of technology is appropriate for your students.

Primary school classroom environments can vary significantly, but despite this you should have a thorough understanding on how best to communicate and work with the students.

A good teacher will graduate their degree knowing how to keep themselves motivated, and with a passion to continue learning and developing as a professional.

After the course, you should be able to understand the curriculum for primary schools and know the best ways to implement this curriculum, making good decisions that will help your students to learn.

You’ll also have a thorough understanding of international teaching standards and how to practise teaching in a professional way, taking into consideration all global issues.

A good teacher will also be respectful in their work, considering students’ different and varied needs and understanding the various communities they teach in.

The course will also empower you to take on leadership roles in education and be able to analyse and choose the best practices for your learning environment. This covers both the way you teach and how you tackle assessments.

Career Outcomes

Upon successful completion of the Bachelor of Education (Primary) course, you’ll have the experience, skill base and information you need to teach a primary school class.
Furthermore, this course creates alternative career options such as working in education policy development or for becoming an education administrator.
