When students take the Bachelor of Design (Industrial Design) degree and the
Bachelor of Education in combination, they are able to complete both courses in
four years of 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
allow entry into the industrial design/technology profession and/or the
education and training profession. Opportunities also exist for further study.
Applicants must have satisfactorily completed the VCE or its equivalent and have achieved 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) and Bachelor of
Education, a candidate for the double degree must successfully complete
subjects totalling 204 points, consisting of:
(a) Studies in industrial design (108 points), which include 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) 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 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 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.
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.
For the education component of the double degree, subjects will be offered at the Clayton campus. For the industrial design component of the double degree, subjects will be offered at the Caulfield campus.
This is a conceptual outline only. It gives a general indication of how the course will progress. It is subject to change without notice.
This course consists of four years of full-time study or equivalent part-time study taken on-campus, with school or industry visits for practica. To complete the course in four years, students will need to overload the industrial design component of that course in years two and three. The expected number of hours per week for a full-time student is 48.
