Bachelor of Secondary Education
Federation University Australia, Ballarat, VIC, Australia
About this program
Federation's Bachelor of Secondary Education prepares students to teach from Year 7 through to VCE, built around a double major chosen from specialisations including Art, Business, English, History, Humanities, Information Technology, Mathematics, Health and Physical Education, and others. Smaller class sizes are a deliberate feature of the course, giving education lecturers more scope for one-on-one support with assignments and coursework. Students gain classroom experience throughout the degree, graduating with the subject depth and practical confidence to teach two specialist areas in a Victorian secondary school.
