* This course was previously known as the Bachelor of Information Systems/Bachelor of Education.
When students take the Bachelor of Information Systems (Information Management) degree and the Bachelor of Education in combination, they are able to complete both courses in four years of full-time study, with overload.
To
receive the awards of Bachelor of Information Systems (Information Management)
and Bachelor of Education, a student must successfully complete units totalling
204 points, consisting of:
(a) Studies in information management and systems (108 points), including a
major study (three years of study in a single discipline), a minor study (two
years of study in a single discipline). Students will be required to overload
by six points in each of years two and three.
(b) Studies in education (96 points), a series of units relating to the theory
and practice of education, teaching and curriculum. Fieldwork placements are
also included.
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 fieldwork. This fieldwork 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.
Primary
education units will be offered at Peninsula (except for EDF1301 and EDF1302,
which will be undertaken at Clayton campus in year one).
For the information systems component of the double degree, units will be
