Course code: 0660
Course leader: Dr Brian Parton
Normally the Bachelor of Arts degree and the Bachelor of Teaching degree are each of three years duration. When taken in combination, the faculties of Arts and Education reduce their requirements so that it is possible to complete both courses in four years of full-time study at a normal course load for each year. On completion of this degree, graduates are eligible for registration as primary teachers in Victoria.
Students would normally be expected to take a major or minor in German, Japanese or Chinese (see Arts faculty handbook for subjects) and one major or minor from the following subjects: English, history, politics, psychology, sociology, human biology, geography and philosophy.

Practical experience
The teaching practice component of the BA/BTeach gives students the opportunity of teaching in a variety of school settings, and the time spent in schools increases from observation in first semester to a lengthier induction-type round in the eighth semester.
