Primary education

Ignite a love of lifelong learning in the leaders of tomorrow. Study primary education and you'll be equipped to teach the next generation the building blocks of literacy, numeracy, science, physical education, arts education and more. You'll also have the opportunity to undertake an overseas Community Engagement placement.

Decide to specialise

As you build up your teaching knowledge and skills, you'll specialise in one particular area such as literacy, mathematics, religious education or inclusive education. This enables you to explore a key part of teaching in-depth, so when you get into the classroom you know your students are learning from the best. And if you specialise in religious education you'll be qualified to teach in Catholic schools when you graduate. We've built strong partnerships with schools to ensure you'll have access to countless opportunities when you begin your job search.
