Bachelor of Education (BEDU) (Primary) University of Southern Queensland

The Bachelor of Education program aims to graduate students who meet the academic requirements for registration as a teacher in Queensland and who demonstrate: the knowledge, skills, practices and values inherent in the Queensland College of Teachers' ten Professional Standards for Queensland Teachers; the qualities and skills required of a USQ graduate; the attributes of an Education graduate; high levels of facility with personal and professional literacies; a particular awareness, understanding and positive orientation towards redressing the educational disadvantages suffered by indigenous students. The Primary specialisation also aims to prepare graduates who have had the opportunity to develop in-depth knowledge and understanding of the work of educators in P-7 settings. Included among these options are: enhanced opportunities to focus on research in education; a focus in a particular curriculum area; on the early years of school; on special education; on physical education; or on middle schooling. If students are interested in research in education, they will have the opportunity to apply for a transfer to the Bachelor of Education (Honours) (Primary) degree after completing a minimum of 1.5 years study in the Bachelor of Education (Primary) degree and achieving a minimum GPA of 6.00. Graduates of the Bachelor Education (Primary) will have the skills and knowledge required to teach students in Years Prep to 7. Teaching offers a lot of flexibility and diversity, with graduates also working as English language teachers and in community settings. Graduates of the Bachelor of Education are eligible to apply for registration as a teacher through the Queensland College of Teachers. To be eligible for registration in Queensland, both domestic and international students must have completed the minimum 40 days of supervised practical experience in Australian Schools.
