Multiple specialisations can place you in an advantageous position for future employment in NSW Government schools.
- Become qualified to teach a secondary subject area that interests you most, across the spectrum of Arts, Humanities, Language, Science, Mathematics and Technology, and Business and Legal Studies.
- Develop your knowledge and hone your skills in leadership, critical thinking, intercultural competence, classroom management, evaluation and assessment — all essential to the role of an effective and reflective primary and secondary teacher.
- Put your skills into practice with 10 days of virtual classroom placement, and 70 days across primary and secondary schools, with the option to undertake a placement in a middle school.
- Balance your learning with your work and other commitments by studying online.
By choosing UNE, you are choosing a leader in the provision of online learning for aspiring and qualified teachers. Students consistently award us 5-star ratings for Overall Experience and Student Support in The Good Universities Guide.
Study online
Most of our students choose to study online across three study periods with 24/7 tutor support* and fit study around work and family commitments. Uniquely, our online students are mostly over 30 and bring valuable experience with them. They form a community of adults juggling the same challenges and priorities and who bring their life and work experience together at UNE in order to become future-fit and better respond to a rapidly changing world.
Study on campus
Many of our students choose to take advantage of the on-campus lifestyle in Armidale, in the beautiful New England region, with access to unparalleled support, accommodation and sporting facilities. These students are often starting their first degree and have left school recently. Through access to academic and career support they get a fantastic start to their careers.
* 24/7 tutor support includes: essay feedback (within 24 hours); live chat 24/7 for generic feedback on academic writing; and subject-specific help at a foundation or first-year level for subjects including mathematics, chemistry, biology, physics, business, accounting, microeconomics, macroeconomics and statistics. There are also a wide range of workshops, resources and courses available in academic skills support to assist you and help you to succeed.

Fees and scholarships
How much will it cost?
Estimated fees for your first year of study in this course are:
Fee type | Cost |
---|---|
Commonwealth Supported Place | $5,881* |
Estimated amenities fee per year if studying full-time | $351 |
What are the course fee payment options?
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is a government subsidised place in a university course. The government pays part of your tuition fees, and you pay the remainder.
If you have a CSP in either an undergraduate or postgraduate (coursework) degree, you may be eligible for a HECS-HELP Loan, which allows you to defer payment of your fees until you are earning above the threshold.
UNE scholarships are open for all to apply and offer financial help while you are studying. There are scholarships for students with high academic achievement, from rural areas, studying specific degrees, in disadvantaged groups, experiencing financial hardship, who excel at sport or want to live in a UNE residential college.
UNE scholarship applications are free and confidential. You may apply for more than one scholarship.
Your career
The Bachelor of Education (K-12 Teaching) will give you an accredited qualification as both a primary school teacher and secondary school teacher. You will graduate with a broad range of teaching and critical thinking skills, ready to adapt to the rapidly evolving education field. Your career options include:
- primary school teacher in a primary or central school
- high school teacher in a high school or central school
- middle school teacher
- school management and administration
- schools outreach
- Educational research
On completion of the Bachelor of Education (K-12 Teaching) you will have a qualification accredited with the New South Wales Education Standards Authority (NESA), providing graduates with a professional qualification meeting the requirements of the Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership (AITSL) for initial teacher education programs, and ensures all graduates meet the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers at the Graduate Career Stage.
Teacher Registration: Students should note that teacher registration requirements vary from state to state. UNE bases its degree structures on the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) guidelines, under the AITSL framework for teacher registration. It is the responsibility of each student to check their eligibility to teach with the relevant state authority (including students who intend to teach in NSW).
Applicants are advised to check with potential employing bodies regarding employment requirements. As of the date of publication, the NSW Department of Education requirements can be found here. Both public and private sector schools can set eligibility requirements relating to academic performance (including GPA requirements) in a student’s degree among other criteria. Requirements to teach internationally can vary from country to country.
Candidates who complete one of the following NESA primary specialisations will receive a NSW Department of Education code on their teacher registration documentation which may be advantageous for your future employment in NSW Government schools.
