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 the double degree, 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 a psychologist. Opportunities also exist for further study.
Applicants must have satisfactorily completed the VCE or its equivalent including a study score of at least 25 in English units 3 and 4 and a study score of at least 20 in three other VCE studies.

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 secondary teaching method in fourth year, a
candidate will require a minimum of two years full academic study in that
discipline.
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 and includes 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 program.
