Outline
The Bachelor of Education (Physical Education) is a four year concurrent teacher education degree. The course has a strong orientation towards providing graduates with vocationally relevant knowledge and skills and encourages the blending of theory and practice. The course is built upon a core of studies reflecting the multi-disciplinary nature of the field of Human Movement. A wide range of second discipline study options is available: Science, Humanities, Health, English, Mathematics and Information Technology. The program is sequenced to ensure that the notion of concurrent discipline and professional studies is maintained. Professional studies and schools experience occur during all four years of the program. Students who undertake the Bachelor of Education (Physical Education) degree who have above average marks may choose to undertake an honours program concurrently with their final year of study. A number of alternate units, plus a research project, are required in the final year. Alternatively, students with outstanding results may qualify for a degree with distinction. In addition, you will also have the opportunity to undertake the Graduate Certificate of Outdoor and Environmental Education during the third and fourth years of the Physical Education degree, qualifying you to teach in a third discipline area.
Career Opportunities
On completion of this course, you will be qualified as a secondary teacher in physical education and a further discipline area as well as a primary teacher in physical education. You will be eligible for professional accreditation as a teacher throughout Australia and overseas. Graduates of this course are well-prepared to undertake many other occupations successfully and are highly sought after by industries and schools for their communication and organisational abilities.
