Just answer a few quick questions to find your pathway into a teaching degree.

A range of teaching degrees to meet requirements

 

UNE offers a range of primary, secondary and early childhood teaching degrees. We also offer combined teaching degrees in early childhood and primary, and primary and secondary teaching.

 

The NSW Educations Standards Authority (NESA) brought in requirements that students starting an undergraduate teaching degree must have completed '3 Band 5's including one in English. These requirements do not affect students wanting to study the Bachelor of Education (Early Childhood Education and Care). 

 

We have structured our primary teaching and secondary teaching degrees to meet the NESA ‘3 Band 5's including one in English’ requirement within the first year of study. This means you can become a qualified primary or secondary teacher in the same amount of time and for the same cost as before, even if you don’t meet the new entry standards.

 

Our combined teaching degrees - Bachelor of Education (K-12 Teaching)* and the Bachelor of Education (Early Childhood and Primary) still require you to meet the ‘3 Band 5's including one in English’ requirement before you start. However, we have a range of entry pathways into these courses that may allow you to become a qualified  teacher in the same amount of time and for the same cost as if you started in one of those combined degrees.

UNE is the only Australian public university awarded the maximum 5 stars for Overall Experience 17 years* in a row.

There are now many ‘johnny-come-lately’ universities in online education. UNE has been delivering distance education since 1955 – that’s longer than any other Australian university. Perhaps that’s why our students continue to rate us so highly for student satisfaction and teaching quality.
 

Study online across three study periods with 24/7 online tutor support. If you don’t have entry qualifications, our free Pathways Enabling Course gives you entry and credit to most of UNE’s undergraduate degrees.
 

If you prefer to study on-campus, UNE has a campus in Armidale.
