Pathway to Teaching Secondary

The Bachelor of Arts (Pathway to Teaching Secondary) is a three-year degree particularly built to lead in the Master of Teaching (Secondary), a licensed postsecondary teaching qualification. Together, the two degrees give direct entrance to some teaching career in just four years and improved prospects for career progress. The Bachelor of Arts (Pathway to Teaching Secondary) component provides focussed study in a teaching field, such as English, History, also a Language Other than English or Human Society and Its Environment, in addition to opportunity to study an Instruction Studies Sub-major that develops understandings of contemporary education issues, teaching and learning. In addition to being equipped with all the necessary elements of a first teacher qualification, Bachelor of Arts (Pathway to Teaching Secondary) graduates are ready for a wide range of alternate job opportunities with strong communication and people skills, ingenuity and capacity for independent thought, flexibility and adaptability in new situations, all increasingly demanded by employers.
