Overview

As a primary school teacher, you'll encourage children’s curiosity and inspire their inquisitive minds.

The Bachelor of Education (Primary) program offered by University of Queensland draws on the latest educational research in combining university study with practical school-based learning. It develops skills relating to literacy and numeracy, diversity and differentiated learning, leadership and research, and effective educational uses of information and communication technologies.

Choose one of four minors to further develop your content knowledge: English and Literacy, Humanities and Social Sciences, Mathematics and Numeracy, or Science.

Supervised classroom placement commences in the first year and in your final year you'll undertake a professional experience placement, where you take full responsibility for teaching a class with minimal input from your teacher or mentor.

Program highlights

Get early experience in classrooms. Spend 10 days in a school in your first year, where you'll observe and provide hands-on help.

Learn from the best. World-renowned educators will teach you flexible and creative ways to cater for the diverse learning needs of children.

Study with a smaller cohort and build a support network and strong friendships with your peers.

Cover all aspects of the Australian Curriculum while developing vital knowledge about teaching and learning, child development, diversity and inclusion, and Indigenous education.
