The Bachelor of Arts (Pathway to Teaching Birth - 5/Birth - 12) equips you with a foundation in English, contemporary society and Australia and the world. It provides a wide base for understanding issues in complex and diverse cultural, social and educational contexts. By undertaking the Bachelor of Arts pathway, you are required to complete an Education Studies major and an Early Childhood sub-major as part of your Arts degree. After three years, you may choose to graduate with the Bachelor of Arts and work in child and family support services. However, the option to complete a Master of Teaching (Birth-5 Years/ Birth-12 Years) exists if you wish to obtain a teaching qualification for prior-to-school and primary school. There is also an exit point for early childhood, allowing you to graduate with a Master of Teaching (Birth-5 Years) and teach in prior-to-school settings.

The Pathway to Teaching course provides the foundations for a Masters in Teaching degree that qualifies graduates as a teacher of early childhood and primary school.
