The Bachelor of Teaching/Bachelor of Arts (Visual Arts) is a dual degree for students who want to teach visual arts in secondary schools (such as high schools) and build their skills in visual media. More than just a teaching degree, this is also a visual arts course where the subjects cover: two-dimensional media areas such as drawing, painting, printmaking and photography three- and four-dimensional areas such as sculpture and object design. Students also gain substantial professional practical experience during the course, such as preparing and curating exhibitions or preparing and developing a commissioned artistic project. The inclusion of units in theology and religious education will support accreditation to teach religious education.

The course is designed for those intending to become teachers in secondary schools including Catholic, government and independent settings. Graduates may teach in institutes of technical and further education (TAFE), vocational education, community education centres, private colleges and special education settings.
