Career pathways

Graduates are in high demand in mainstream education for their contributions to school communities, and in specialist education settings - where less than half of all teachers have a formal specialist qualification.

You will be highly skilled in working with colleagues to build their capacity to provide access, participation and progress for all students in age related educational programs.

You will have the skills and knowledge to further your career as teaching professionals, educational administrators, researchers and policymakers within specific areas of education practice.

Graduates who complete eight units of study from the Special and Inclusive Education specialisation will be recognised by the NSW Department of Education and Communities to teach special education.
