Bachelor of Teaching and Learning/Bachelor of Arts

This combined degree provides students with the generic skills and understanding of humanities and social sciences as well as the qualification to teach at the primary school, middle school or secondary education level.

The Arts course includes specialist pathways of study in history and cultural heritage, social science (psychology and sociology), regional and international studies (including south-east Asian studies), languages (Modern Greek, Indonesian and Mandarin) and Indigenous knowledge (Yolngu culture).

Combinations of these specialist areas of study provide graduates with distinctive qualifications that lead to interesting and rewarding careers.

The course is enhanced by the university's unique location in northern Australia, adjacent to south-east Asia.

Employment opportunities include federal, state and territory governments, land councils, museums, non-government agencies and the corporate sector, particularly where these organisations engage with central and northern Australia and Asia.

The education course prepares graduates to be teachers in primary, middle or secondary schooling.

Its aim is to produce teachers who work effectively within educational contexts that are dynamic and changing.

The course meets both national and local needs for teachers of exemplary practice committed to enhancing educational outcomes for all children.

It has particular emphasis on improving teaching-learning relationships in the classroom, raising awareness of issues surrounding Indigenous education and developing an informed, evidence-based approach to learning and teaching in diverse education settings.

Education units are designed for external as well as internal students and the education course welcomes students from around Australia and overseas.

Graduates of this combined degree are awarded both the Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Teaching and Learning.
