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.
There is a significant demand for teachers qualified in Technology and Applied Studies. CSU’s program is offered as a full-time, four-year on campus program taught on 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 Design and Technology and another selected from: Agricultural Technology; Food Technology, Industrial Technology and Information Technology. Students undertaking the Industrial Technology or Food Technology strand can also add an additional teaching area of either Graphics and Multimedia Technology or Textiles Technology. Graduates from the program will have the opportunity to gain dual accreditation for general education and vocational education.
As part of the Bachelor of Education (Technology and Applied Studies) students will have the opportunity to complete a TAE40110 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment, which will require enrolment with CSU Training to complete this award. Enrolment and certificate issue costs need to be met by each student.
Extra costs may be associated for the acquisition of units of competency to gain accreditation to teach VET in schools. These costs will be determined by various Registered Training Organisations (e.g. TAFE NSW) and must be independently paid for and organised by students.
Some subjects in this course will be provided by Southern Cross University as cross institutional studies. Workshop components of these subjects will be offered on CSU’s Wagga Wagga Campus.
To graduate from CSU's Bachelor of Education (Technology and Applied Studies) students must satisfactorily complete 264 points.
For each 8 point subject at CSU, students should normally expect to spend between 140-160 hours engaged in the specified learning and assessment activities (such as attending lectures or residential schools, assigned readings, tutorial assistance, individual or group research/study, forum activity, workplace learning, assignments or examinations). The student workload for some subjects may vary from these norms as a result of approved course design. Students will be assessed on the basis of completed assignments, examinations, workplace learning, or other methods as outlined in specific subject outlines. Where applicable, students are responsible for travel and accommodation costs involved in workplace learning experiences, or attending residential schools (distance education students). Expectations relating to academic, workplace learning, time and cost requirements for specific subjects are provided in the subject abstracts and in course materials.Academic expectations
