Teaching and learning

We value diverse teaching approaches informed by research and a supportive and flexible learning environment focused on the student.

Awards and recognition

Our committed and innovative teachers for undergraduate through to postgraduate awards have been recognised at local and national level. The Faculty makes a number of awards each year to our leading teachers.

Curriculum renewal

As part of La Trobe University’s curriculum renewal project, Design for Learning, the Faculty has undertaken review and renewal of its entire undergraduate curriculum. This project is staged over 4 years (2009-2013) and includes many new initiatives.
