Educate and inspire young children from early learning through to Primary education.

This double degree program will accelerate your education career and allow you to graduate with two qualifications in just 4-years. The Bachelor of Education (Primary) and Graduate Certificate in Early Childhood Education prepares graduates for recruitment in local, interstate, and international educational systems. You’ll also develop the required skills to work in early childhood education and care settings.

The Bachelor of Education (Primary) is a pre-service teaching degree that prepares you for roles in Primary teaching, from Prep through to Grade 6. Throughout your degree, you will investigate childhood development and behaviour. You’ll focus on literacy learning, including speaking, listening, reading, and writing, while also studying other subjects, such as Mathematics, Science, Art, Music, and Health and Physical Education. This course is accredited through the Tasmanian Teachers Registration Board and is recognised in all states and territories.

The Graduate Certificate of Early Childhood Education will prepare you to lead early learning experiences for children from birth to 8 years of age. Your studies will embed indigenous worldviews, education for sustainability, and health and wellbeing. You’ll learn to recognise how relationships with self, others, cultures, and places are critical to teaching and learning with children. Graduates are inclusive education practitioners with specific capacities to lead with play-based pedagogies, and to work with complex communities.
