While the course does not lead to a recognised professional qualification for early childhood teachers or school teachers, it does offer graduates a generalist education degree that could be useful in a variety of educational/leisure settings such as vacation care, homework centres, tutoring in private colleges and home tutoring. Fitness for such employment is dependent on the choice of subjects selected by the student.
Graduates who already have a teaching degree, may use the degree to upgrade their qualifications or extend their professional knowledge by drawing on a wide range of education or education related subjects.

"For me, teaching is about the whole child so that you can help them reach their full potential"
With schools across Australia likely to need 3 000 teacher librarians in the coming years, a CSU academic highlighted the growing shortfall when she addressed a Federal parliament committee in Canberra investigating the problem.
I was looking forward to the challenge of studying via distance education knowing that CSU is a leader in online learning.
Teaching is the single largest profession in Australia, and the field of education continues to grow in size and significance, ensuring that skilled and enthusiastic graduates are constantly in demand.
