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. Course structureTo 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.
