Bachelor of Education (Secondary)/Bachelor of Behavioural Science (045121G)

The Bachelor of Behavioural Science component of the double degree combines elements of psychology, political science, cultural studies, and sociology. Integrating specialised knowledge developed in these social science disciplines with a strong focus on critical psychology forges a connection between traditional psychology and social work. As a result, student will have the skills to work with the marginalised or disadvantaged in education and non-education settings.

This is divided into two weeks of classroom immersion and teacher assistance in their first year; one term with a particular focus on their Learning Area Major in their second and third years; one term with a special focus on their Learning Area Specialisation in student's third year; and an internship in their final year which focuses on both their Learning Area Major and Specialisation, as well as Religious Education if student have chosen to complete their accreditation to teach Religious Education.
