Normally, the Bachelor of Design (Industrial Design) 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. The course is aimed at the post-primary/adult education
levels.
Graduates of this double-degree program will have completed qualifications that
allows entry into the industrial design/technology profession and/or the
education and training profession.
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 one of Mathematical Methods or Specialist Mathematics. Entry will be based on portfolio, interview, and the student's ENTER.
To
receive the awards of Bachelor of Design (Industrial Design)/Bachelor of
Education, a candidate for the double degree must successfully complete the
following:
(a) Studios at each year stage. Subjects commence at a basic level of
understanding and progress to the achievement of a high level of competence in
undertaking industrial design projects. The knowledge and capabilities acquired
in the other subjects of the course are progressively incorporated into the
work of the studio subjects and integrated into the design solutions.
(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 design 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
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 program.
Opportunities also exist for further study.
