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.
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.
To
receive the awards of Bachelor of Visual Arts and Bachelor of Education, a
student must successfully complete units totalling 192 points, consisting of
the following:
(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.
Candidates
intending to qualify as secondary school teachers need to be aware that their
major and minor studies in arts must satisfy the requirements for the study of
two methods and practice-of-teaching unit sets (A and B sequence = method set)
in their fourth year (or third and fourth years for Gippsland students) and the
requirements for employment laid down by the Victorian Institute of
Teaching.
Generally, to qualify for a secondary teaching method, a candidate will require
a minimum of two years of full academic study in that discipline. There are
additional requirements for some disciplines.
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. The fieldwork placement is an integrated part of work in the
Bachelor of Education program.
For
the Clayton students, the education component of the double degree will be
offered at Clayton campus and the visual arts component will be offered at the
Caulfield campus.
For the Gippsland students, visual arts and education components of the double
degree will be offered at the Gippsland campus.
