When students take the Bachelor of Arts degree and the Bachelor of Education
degree in combination, they are able to complete both courses in four years of
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.

To
receive the awards of Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Education, a candidate
for the double degree must successfully complete subjects totalling 192 points,
consisting of:
(a) Studies in arts (96 points) consisting of a major study (three years
of study in a single discipline), a minor study (two years of study in a single
discipline), and two additional first-year subjects
(b) Studies in education (96 points) consisting of a series of subjects
relating to the theory and practice of education, teaching and curriculum.
Practicum placements 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, Employment and
Training and non-government authorities.
Generally, to qualify for a secondary teaching method in fourth year, a
candidate will require a minimum of two years of full academic study in that
discipline. There are additional requirements for some disciplines.
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.
