CSU's Bachelor of Education (Technology and Applied Studies) brings together a diverse range of subjects. Graduates will be trained as secondary school teachers in the key learning area of Technology and Applied Studies.

About this course

The demand for teachers in TAS is significant. Many existing technology teachers have only one area of expertise and, over the next 10 years, major shortages of TAS teachers are predicted across Australia. CSU's Bachelor of Education (Technology and Applied Studies) will address this need. The program is offered as a full-time, four-year on campus program taught at the Wagga Wagga Campus.

On completion of this course you will be classed as a teacher of technology with the ability to teach in the key learning area of Technology and Applied Studies. Dual accreditation for general education and vocational education applies for graduates from the program.
