About this qualification

Here is what the Bachelor of Education Secondary (Visual Arts) qualification offered by Charles Darwin University covers and who it is designed for.

The Bachelor of Education Secondary prepares you to become a secondary school teacher, eligible to teach in a range of secondary schools such as middle, secondary and senior colleges. At CDU, you can study online or on campus, part-time or full-time. This makes it easier to fit study into your existing commitments. When you graduate, you'll be qualified to register as a teacher anywhere in Australia.

The course focuses on the skills and knowledge and you will need to teach in high schools, as outlined by the Australian National Curriculum. It meets both the national and local need for teachers committed to improving educational outcomes for children in year 7 to year 12.

You will learn about:

  • the school curriculum

  • contemporary approaches to issues in education, such as inclusivity

  • child and adolescent development

  • behaviour management and student wellbeing

  • improving the teaching-learning relationship in the classroom

  • teaching First Nation learners

  • developing an informed, evidence-based approach to learning and teaching in secondary school settings.

As a secondary teacher, you will specialise in teaching certain subjects. As part of your degree you will undertake a major in Visual Arts and a minor from the options available.

The course is a mixture of discipline-specific curriculum and pedagogical studies, general education studies and professional experience (a minimum of 80 days professional experience must be completed in secondary schools). When you graduate, your levels of personal literacy and numeracy will be broadly equivalent to the top 30% of the Australian population.

Students are encouraged to review the employer eligibility requirements as they can vary state to state.

This course has been accredited through the Teacher Registration Board of the Northern Territory (TRB NT). It is consistent with the standards established by the Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership (AITSL) for the accreditation of Initial Teacher Education Programs (ITE) in Australia. Upon graduating, you will be eligible to register as a teacher across all Australian State and Territory jurisdictions (subject to meeting other eligibility criteria, such as National Literacy and Numeracy test for Initial Teacher Education as per Teacher Registration Requirement, English proficiency and suitability to teach).
