The smart path to teaching

It’s a great opportunity to explore a specialised discipline that will benefit your teaching career and sate your natural curiosity.
Look forward to hands-on experience at educational facilities as part of your course work, and emerge with the communication skills, creativity, capacity for independent thought, and adaptability you need to thrive in the real world.
As well as preparing you to become a primary teacher, this degree is a springboard to other careers outside of teaching, like communication and media industries, psychology and counselling, cultural and social policy analysis, writing and publishing.
