This
double-degree course provides students with an arts major and minor field of
study as well as a sequence of studies in education leading to registration as
a primary school teacher. The course offers the most common pathway to teaching
by way of a double-degree program in arts and education.
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 units.

receive the awards of Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Education, a student
must successfully complete units totalling 192 points, consisting of:
