Teaching
is a recognised and well-regarded career path for visual art graduates. In
addition to art education, graduates of visual arts/education may practise
professionally in one or more art media, or may become involved in art gallery
activities, cultural programs, or a range of art and design industry
activities.
When students take the Bachelor of Visual Arts degree and the Bachelor of
Education in combination, they are able to complete both courses in four years
of full-time study.
To
receive the awards of Bachelor of Visual Arts and Bachelor of Education, a
student must successfully complete units totalling 192 points, consisting
of:
(a) Studies in visual arts (96 points), including a major study (three years of
study in a single discipline), a minor study (two years of study in a single
discipline), and two additional first-year units.
(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 and includes 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.
For
Peninsula students, the education component of the double degree will be
offered at Peninsula campus, except for EDF1301 and EDF1302, which will be
undertaken at Clayton campus in first year.
For Gippsland students, all visual arts and education components of the double
degree will be undertaken at the Gippsland campus.
