Bachelor of Education (Early Childhood and Primary)

What is this course about?

CSU's Bachelor of Education (Early Childhood and Primary) prepares graduates for a career teaching in a wide range of educational settings with children from birth to 12 years old.

Teaching today requires graduates with an awareness of social, cultural and developmental issues. This course includes child development, sociology, indigenous studies and research methods. Skills in interpersonal communication, leadership and special needs are developed in university-based workshops and in workplaces that cater to the needs of children in communities across our region and in urban centres. Curriculum studies in this course meet the requirements for teaching children in all Key Learning Areas from Kindergarten to Year 6 in primary schools.

The program equips students with the professional skills required to foster positive development and learning in children, whether they are in childcare services, preschools or in primary schools.

The Bachelor of Education (Early Childhood and Primary) is grounded in the belief that graduates should continue to develop as scholars and teachers, and be practitioners who reflect on their own practice, and who are strong advocates for children and their families.

Please note: the Session 2 restricted offering is available to Indigenous students at Dubbo Campus only.
