About this program

Victoria University's Bachelor of Education Studies is a three-year course in Melbourne that covers curriculum design, classroom management, educational psychology, and diverse teaching strategies. You'll explore how children and adolescents learn, develop skills in planning engaging lessons, and consider how to create supportive learning environments. Some units focus on digital technologies in education and issues such as equity, inclusion, and cultural diversity in Australian schools.

The degree is structured around core and elective units of study, each with specific credit points, so you can focus on areas that interest you, such as literacy, numeracy, or educational leadership. Unlike a teaching qualification, this course does not lead to teacher registration, but it gives you practical classroom knowledge and skills relevant to broader educational settings. You can expect assessments through projects, written assignments, and fieldwork observations rather than a research thesis or formal teaching placement.

Throughout your studies, you'll develop communication, critical thinking, and organisational skills that are valued in many education-related roles. This course suits people interested in working in educational policy, program development, or support roles within the Australian education sector, or in training and development in the community or private sector. Students can work up to 48 hours per fortnight on a Student visa, helping you gain experience while studying, and graduates may be eligible for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) post-course.

Check Victoria University's official page for the most up-to-date unit details and entry requirements. The course welcomes international students and recognises several formal English tests, including IELTS, TOEFL iBT, PTE Academic, and the university's own English programmes.
