Overview

The Arts (Pathway to Teaching Primary) program from Western Sydney University gives you a strong understanding of complex cultural, social and educational issues. It also allows you to choose from more than 20 majors, like Education, History, English and Philosophy, to name a few. It’s a great opportunity to explore a specialised discipline that will benefit your teaching career and sate your natural curiosity.
