CSU's Educational Studies courses offer flexible, generalist undergraduate degrees, with a wide range of opportunities and choices available to graduates.
Graduates of these courses do not attain a professional teaching qualification without undertaking further study.
This course aims to provide flexible course design options for undergraduate students of education by providing access to a diverse pool of subjects requiring a wide range of skills for active and successful participation. The aim of this approach is to increase the potential for students to meet a wider range of vocational needs in an increasingly broad variety of educational environments.
The Bachelor of Educational Studies draws upon the extensive portfolio of subjects already developed by the Faculty of Education, the subject offerings of other Faculties of CSU, and any tertiary study previously undertaken. It allows students flexibility in the construction of a program of study that they consider will best meet their future needs and to select the skills, knowledge and attitudes, inherent in their subject choice, that they believe will be required of them upon graduation.
The aims of the course are to provide students with formal qualifications in education that reflect a generalist level of study in the field of education; provide a basic understanding of conceptual tools, theories and methodologies in education; and provide a general orientation to the purposes, functions and practices within nominated areas of study. The course will provide students with knowledge, skills and attitudes at an introductory level.
