Bachelor of Education (P-12)

Teaching Across All Ages

The Bachelor of Education (P-12) at Victoria University (VU) is a comprehensive teaching degree that qualifies you to work with students from early childhood through to primary and secondary school levels. In this program, you will study a diverse range of subjects including educational psychology, curriculum planning, and classroom management. You will also develop deep expertise in two teaching specialisations, such as English, Mathematics, Science, or Physical Education, ensuring you are versatile and highly employable across the entire Victorian education system. 

The VU Block Model® Experience

As a student in this program, you will experience the VU Block Model®, an award-winning way of learning where you focus on one subject at a time over a four-week "block." This approach reduces the stress of juggling multiple deadlines and allows for immersive, interactive classes. You will find the pace is focused but supportive, with small class sizes that encourage close collaboration with your peers and teachers. This interaction style helps you build a strong professional network and confidence before you even step into a real classroom. 

Immersive School-Based Learning

Student life in this discipline is defined by a strong "learning-by-doing" culture. From your first year, you will be placed in diverse school settings for professional practice. This hands-on environment allows you to apply the theories you learn in the Footscray Park campus classrooms directly to real-world teaching scenarios. You won't just be reading about education; you will be observing experienced mentors and gradually taking the lead in lessons, preparing you for the daily energy and academic intensity of a professional school environment. 

Your Path to Educational Leadership

This course is specifically designed to prepare you for a seamless transition into the teaching profession. By graduating with a qualification that spans P-12, you gain the unique ability to adapt your teaching style to different developmental stages. This program meets the professional standards required for registration with the Victorian Institute of Teaching (VIT), making you ready to start your career as a registered teacher immediately. Beyond the classroom, your training prepares you for pathways into educational consultancy, policy development, or school leadership roles.
