La Trobe’s new primary education degrees have been created to meet new national standards for teacher education. We offer the opportunity for specialisation within our primary education degrees, which allows for greater career options. With a common foundation year across all our undergraduate education degrees, you have time to develop your literacy and numeracy skills and the flexibility to move between courses if you want to change your teaching focus.
We offer programs in primary and early childhood education, with multiple specialisation options to choose from at each campus:
Melbourne and Bendigo Campuses:
Mildura Campus:

Professional practice is a major focus in all our teacher education degrees, with an emphasis on innovative placement models and opportunities for urban, regional, international and cultural placements to ensure you get the experience you need to move into the classroom after your degree.
Graduates are prepared for work in government, Catholic and independent schools nationally and overseas (subject to registration). You may also work in human services, training, children's services, leadership-related areas, media and service industries. Graduates in early childhood education may find work in childcare facilities, kindergarten and early learning centres.
