Normally the Bachelor of Information Management and Systems 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.
Graduates of this double-degree program will have completed qualifications that allow entry into both the information technology profession and/or the education and training profession.

Admission requirements

Applicants must have satisfactorily completed the VCE or its equivalent including two units iof mathematics (any), with a study score of at least 25 in English in units 3 and 4. and a study score of at least 20 in three other VCE subjects.

Course structure

To receive the awards of Bachelor of Information Management and Systems/Bachelor of Education, a candidate for the double degree must successfully complete the following:
(a) Studies in information technology 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. Students will be required to overload by 6 points in each of years 2 & 3.
(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 information technology 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.
