For each 8-point subject you are enrolled in, you should expect to spend 10 to 12 hours per week working on assignments and assigned readings, tutorial assistance, individual or group research/study, forum activity, workplace learning, and attending lectures, intensive schools, or examinations. If you are studying four subjects per session, this is equivalent to a full-time job. The workload for some subjects may vary as a result of approved course design.
You may need to attend an online or on-campus intensive school for certain subjects in this course. These schools usually involve lectures, tutorials, and practicals that will give you a deeper understanding of your subject.
The Bachelor of Educational Studies is a flexible course that provides study options for a range of teaching, or teaching related, outcomes. The standard course consists of 24 subjects or equivalent. Students complete the core subject and then follow their pathway option as outlined in the essential set. The course provides the following pathways:
At least 128 points (16 of the 24 subjects) must be in education-based or education-related discipline areas approved by the Course Director.
