The Bachelor of Educational Studies is designed for people interested in studying various aspects of education. The course provides the opportunity for qualified teachers and other professionals to undertake advanced studies in the theory and practice of education. Some subjects are related to the development of professional expertise in curriculum studies while other subjects provide an introduction to educational research. It is envisaged that additional subjects in the fields of vocational education and training, and information technology, will be introduced in later years.
A
graduate who has gained the Graduate Diploma in Education, or has successfully
completed a course of teacher education (eg Diploma of Teaching or Bachelor of
Teaching) may apply for admission to candidature for the degree of Bachelor of
Educational Studies. (There is provision for limited entry of non-graduates;
see regulation 2.2 in the handbook for Faculty of Education.) In any year the
faculty may recommend that a quota be imposed on the admission of BEdSt
candidates or on enrolments in individual subjects in the course.
There is provision for admission of new students in the second half-year, but
the availability of such places will depend on the faculty's total enrolment at
the time. Candidates interested in admission in mid-year should make inquiries
in early June.
Some subjects require students to have access to a microcomputer and suitable software. Access to a modem may also be required. Non-compulsory weekend schools may be offered in some subjects.
Students are required to complete six of the following subjects (each worth eight credit points) over three years part-time by distance education. At this level a normal enrolment pattern by distance education is one subject per semester.
Usually assignments, essays and reports.
Credits
and exemptions may be granted in respect of successfully completed tertiary
level studies which are adjudged to be equivalent to, or a satisfactory
alternative to, BEdSt subjects.
Applicants are required to make formal application for credits/exemptions,
supported by certified documentation of other academic studies.
Credits and exemptions are not given automatically. Each application is
assessed individually.
For more detailed information, contact the Faculty of Education, telephone (03) 5122 6969 or (03) 99026969.
Completed applications are to be forwarded to the senior administrator, Faculty of Education, Monash University Gippsland campus, Churchill, Victoria, 3842, by 18 September 1998 to be considered for a first-round offer.
