The Bachelor of Education (Secondary), Bachelor of Arts combines the rigorous foundation of a Southern Cross University teaching degree with the challenging thinking and cultural investigation of an arts degree.
This degree is ideally suited to aspiring teachers with an interest in the arts, who want to develop an expanded scope of practice in areas such as written communication, social theory and history. You will develop a broad understanding of the world and its people, engaging with important social, cultural and political issues.
Students with an interest in the humanities and social sciences, who are looking for a flexible career and good employment prospects, will also find this double degree rewarding.
The Bachelor of Education in this double degree includes extensive professional placement and qualifies you to teach in secondary schools in up to two subjects.
The Bachelor of Arts in this double degree offers three exciting majors to tailor your studies, in either Creative Writing, Humanities or Social Sciences. Each major includes a research project with an academic supervisor where you can focus deeply on an area that interests you.
Career opportunities for graduates of this degree are diverse, spanning the fields of teaching and education as well as careers in the cultural and social spheres.
Please note: All students need to attempt the Literacy and Numeracy Test for Initial Teacher Education (LANTITE) in their first year of study.
