Diploma of University Studies (Education)

This pathway will suit you if have decided to become a teacher but do not have the entry requirements after completing VCE, as a mature student, or if you are now considering going to university after completing VCAL or an unscored VCE.

The Diploma will prepare you for degree level study while getting you started on the subjects you will need to earn a teaching qualification.

As most of the Diploma subjects are from the first year of the Bachelor of Education Studies, this pathway will take you from the Diploma into the second year of that degree, subject to attaining a satisfactory academic standard.

Your studies will also focus on academic writing, mathematical skills and developing an understanding of the university learning environment.Follow the Bachelor of Education Studies with the Master of Teaching in either Early Childhood, Primary or Secondary teaching, and you will be ready to embark on your teaching career with all the skills and confidence which makes our teaching graduates so sought after.
