On the Peninsula campus, the faculty offers the Bachelor of Adult Learning and Development (BAL&D), the Bachelor of Early Childhood Education (BECEd), and the Bachelor of Primary Education (BPrimEd). On the Gippsland campus, it offers the Bachelor of Primary Education (BPrimEd), and the Bachelor of Sport and Outdoor Recreation (BS&OR). The Bachelor of Education (Honours) (BEd[Hons]) program is offered on the Clayton campus.
In conjunction with other faculties, the Faculty of Education offers a
series of double degrees designed to qualify students for a wide range of
employment options. These double degrees are designed to provide students with
opportunities for careers in both education and other occupations such as
science, computing, business, information management, law, music, and outdoor
education. They also allow students to undertake studies in other faculties
with students who are not preparing for careers in education. These degrees are
not all available on each campus, nor do they all prepare students for all
levels of teaching.
The following table shows the location of each of the faculty's undergraduate
preservice degrees and for which level each is designed.

Credit may be granted for work already completed at Monash University or at another tertiary institution, including overseas universities on a case-by-case basis. Application for credit should be made at the time of enrolment. Application forms may be obtained from the faculty office on each campus.
With the double-degree (secondary stream) courses, each student must choose two methods and practice-of-teaching unit sets (A and B sequence = method set). Students are advised to consult the following list of teaching units together with the outlines for each unit and their prerequisites. This information should then be used to choose two sets of method and practice-of-teaching units.
The prerequisites for entry to these units are determined by the faculty and
do not necessarily match the requirements of particular employers in specific
subject fields. Students in doubt about the suitability of their qualifications
for employment with the Victorian Department of Education and Training are
invited to check with the department's recruitment unit.
With permission from the course coordinators, students may undertake study in a
mixed mode (ie on and off-campus).
Students in undergraduate double-degree courses must successfully complete teaching practice which consists of 80 days of supervised school experience. Students who are employed in schools who are required to do 80 days practicum must complete 40 days of supervised practicum in a setting other than the school in which they are employed. Students must be available to undertake school placements on a full-time basis and attend their placement for full days.

assistance, supervision and teaching practice facilities.
