Educational Studies

Overview

The Educational Studies program from Charles Sturt University is the ideal way to become accredited in an additional teaching area and expand your teaching career. You can tailor your study to include only the subjects you need to become accredited in a teaching field that interests you. Our course draws on a wide range of subjects from across the entire university. 

If you're already a teacher you can enhance your career options by adding to your existing teaching accreditation. Add primary teaching accreditation to your high school accreditation or add another high school teaching area. Primary school teachers can also study to gain high school accreditation. If you don't yet hold a teaching qualification, you'll gain a generalist degree in education providing you with knowledge and skills that will be valued in a variety of educational environments. 

Receive expert guidance from our friendly and supportive staff, who will help you to construct a personalised study package that recognises previous tertiary study and provides the specific knowledge and skills you need to advance your career. If you have partially completed a degree less than 10 years ago and you want to become a teacher, it's possible your prior studies could be recognised in the Bachelor of Educational Studies. Charles Sturt University will work with you and discuss your prior studies to identify if your are eligible for entry.

If your circumstances change during your study, the Bachelor of Educational Studies also provides flexible exit options through the awards of the Associate Degree in Educational Studies or Diploma of Educational Studies.
