A requirement of the Bachelor of Education is that all students undertake a specialisation, normally comprising a six unit major study and two units selected from another specialisation, or two four unit minor studies. Continuing students who have commenced a
specialisation within their undergraduate qualification, may continue this specialisation into their Bachelor of Education. Variations from these specific specialisation patterns will be considered by the coordinator. Requests for variation should be submitted in writing.
Specialisations available within the Faculty of Education include Aboriginal Education, Physical Education and Health, Studies in Early Childhood, Language and Literacy, Vocational and Adult Education, Mathematics and Science Education, Teachers' Work, Applied Curriculum, LOTE and TESOL, Arts Education, and Education Administration. Other specialist sequences may be taken in the Faculties of Law, Business, Science or Arts. Cross-institutional enrolment, and the provision for independent units of study, will further extend the range of units available within specialist areas.
