About this qualification

Here is what the Bachelor of Social Science (Pathway to Primary Education) qualification offered by University of Wollongong covers and who it is designed for.

Discover how and why we live the way we do when you study social science as a pathway to primary education at UOW. The Pathway to Primary Education degree allows you to deepen your knowledge and skills in social inquiry before adding an accredited professional teaching qualification to your portfolio of skills. You will learn how to understand the complex and changing needs of societies in the face of technological, economic and social changes that affect the smallest of communities to the largest of nations.

Learn about the social problems face our society today and  the tools  we have to create solutions for a better tomorrow.  Be equipped to understand behaviour in order to positively transform the lives of individuals, families and communities. You will graduate with an undergraduate and postgraduate degree, providing you with an alternative route to primary school teaching and enhanced career options.

In the Bachelor of Social Science, you will learn core fundamental knowledge across practical and theoretical subjects alongside a major of your choosing and a minor in education. You will explore subjects like sociology, behavioural science, research methods, statistics and more as you begin to understand human development in the social context. In your final year, you will complete several postgraduate teaching subjects which will then be credited into the Master of Teaching, reducing your overall study load and costs.

In the Master of Teaching, you will gain hands-on experience and make meaningful professional connections across the broader field using integrated learning methods. You will focus on building teaching skills with 60 days of professional experience including options to choose rural or remote areas of NSW and to participate in international immersion programs.
