Graduate coursework programs
Bachelor of Educational Studies – Albury-Wodonga (RBESW), Bendigo (RBES), Melbourne (Bundoora) (ABES)
The Bachelor of Educational Studies is a pathway to further studies in education for 3-year trained primary teachers, graduates or other professionals who wish to pursue education studies in their field of interest. Three-year trained primary teachers may undertake the course as a recognised fourth year of study. For other graduates, the course is not a `stand alone’ qualification for teaching in schools. However, it provides sound foundation studies in education for those wishing to progress to the Graduate Diploma in Education (Primary) which is recognised by the Victorian Institute of Teaching (VIT)as a one-year postgraduate teacher training course.
Admission requirements
A bachelor degree or a recognised two-year tertiary Diploma or equivalent.
Course structure
The course consists of 120 credit points of study, which may be taken as 15 or 20 credit point units over one-year full-time or part-time equivalent. With the approval of the course convenor, units of study may be selected from those available in the Bachelor of Education, the Graduate Diploma in Educational Studies or other undergraduate or postgraduate programs relevant to the course of study.
