Bachelor of Education (Honours) / Bachelor of Fine Art

Develop your craft. Shape the next generation. This double degree sets you up for a career driven by creativity - helping young people understand the value of art and artistic expression.

This course leads to two separate degrees. Depending on your specialisation, you'll graduate with a Bachelor of Fine Art and either the:

• Bachelor of Education (Honours) in Primary Education
• Bachelor of Education (Honours) in Secondary Education

Specialise in primary education and you'll be able to teach across the school curriculum, with particular expertise in art. Specialise in secondary education and you'll qualify as a specialist art teacher.

In an experimental studio-based environment, you'll explore and develop your knowledge and skills across painting, drawing, photography, jewellery, glass and printmaking. You'll also be studying video art, film, installation practices and 3D print modelling for artists.

Combined with your education studies, you'll learn how to be an innovative and effective teacher in general, with the capacity to bring out the artistic sensibilities in young people.

With an understanding of creative learning and development, your career options go well beyond schools. With this double degree, you might pursue work in areas like education and arts policy and planning, cultural events management, galleries and museums, arts administration, consultancy and even therapeutic settings.

Here's what you need to know:

• All primary and secondary education specialisations are accredited by the Victorian Institute of Teaching (VIT) using national accreditation standards.
• This means your qualification will be accepted in Victoria and all other states and territories.
