When students take the Bachelor of Education degree and the Bachelor of Laws degree in combination, they are able to complete both courses in five years of full-time study with overload.
This double degree will extend the range of skills of graduates seeking employment in legal practice and other fields of the law. For graduates who may wish to seek employment as teachers, the course will equip them to teach legal studies and a second teaching unit in secondary schools in Victoria. For interstate and overseas positions, applicants are advised to check with local authorities. Opportunities also exist for further study.
Applicants must have satisfactorily completed the VCE or its equivalent including: units 3 and 4 - a study score of at least 30 in English (any), and an ENTER which is sufficient for entry to the BEd/LLB degree.
To receive the awards of Bachelor of Education/Bachelor of Laws,
students must successfully complete units totalling 264 points consisting
of:
(a) Studies in law (144 points), including a major study in law (three years of
study) and minor study in arts or science or commerce (24 points) which satisfy
the requirements for the study of two methods and practice-of-teaching unit
sets (A and B sequence = method set). These are the requirements for employment
laid down by the Victorian Institute of Teaching.
(b) Studies in education (96 points), including a series of
units 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 must satisfy the requirements for the study of
two methods and practice-of-teaching unit sets (A and B sequence = method set)
in their fifth year and the requirements for employment laid down by the
Victorian Institute of Teaching.
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.
