*THE TITLE OF THIS COURSE HAS CHANGED TO BA/BED. STUDENTS MAY CONTINUE THEIR
STUDIES UNDER THE GENERALIST BA/BED TITLE AS THERE HAVE BEEN NO AMENDMENTS TO
THE COURSE STRUCTURE. STUDENTS WILL BE PERMITTED TO TAKE OUT THE AWARD UNDER
THE ORIGINAL TITLE IF THEY SO WISH.
Normally
the Bachelor of Arts degree and the Bachelor of Education degree are each of
three years duration. When the degrees are taken in combination, students are
able to complete both courses in four-years full-time study at a normal course
load for each year. A feature of these courses is their interdisciplinary
approach to the teaching of some subjects.
On completion of these degrees, graduates are eligible for employment as
teachers. They may also consider employment in a wide range of occupations
including journalism, professional writing, publicity, library services,
research and administration. The BA(Psych&Hum)/BEd course may also lead to
registration as psychologists. Opportunities also exist for further study.
The objectives of the Bachelor of Education course are to provide students with:
The objectives of the Bachelor of Arts course are set out in the Arts handbook.

Applicants must have satisfactorily completed the Victorian Certificate of Education or its equivalent with at least a C average in units 3 and 4 of English and a D average in any other three VCE studies.
Applicants must have satisfactorily completed the Victorian Certificate of Education or its equivalent. Within the Victorian Certificate of Education, applicants must have satisfactorily completed any two units in VCE mathematics and have obtained at least a C average in units 3 and 4 of English and a D average in any three other VCE studies.
Applicants contemplating admission to this course may seek formal credit or recognition of prior learning. Applicants should apply for credit prior to enrolment but currently enrolled students may also apply. The Faculty of Education considers each application on its merits within the context of the faculty guidelines on credit transfer which are contained in a booklet Learning from experience available from the Professional Development Institute, Faculty of Education, Monash University, Gippsland campus, Churchill 3842 ($7 postage and packing).
To
receive the awards of Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Education, a candidate for
the double degree must successfully complete:
(a) studies in arts consisting of a major study (three years study in a
single discipline), a minor study (two years study in a single discipline), and
two additional first-year subjects;
(b) a series of subjects relating to the theory and practice of education,
teaching and curriculum. Practicum subjects are also included.
Candidates intending to qualify as secondary teachers need to be aware that
their major and minor studies in arts must satisfy the requirements for the
study of two teaching methods in their fourth year and the requirements for
employment laid down by the Victorian Department of Education and
non-government authorities.
Generally to qualify for a teaching method in fourth year, a candidate will
require a minimum of two years full academic study in that subject.
Progressively over the course students will be completing more of the education
component, until the final year which will be entirely education, including an
extended teaching practicum. This practicum is a program of field visits to
different educational sites including structured teaching experience. Students
will be required to complete projects related to their field visits. The visits
are an integrated part of work in the Bachelor of Education.
