Bachelor of Arts (Pathway to Teaching Primary) - History and Political Thought

Program Overview

Becoming a primary school teacher is a two-step process. First, complete the Bachelor of Arts (Pathway to Teaching Primary), then complete your Master of Teaching. When you have successfully completed these two degrees, you’ll be ready to take up a role as a qualified primary school teacher. This program gives you a strong understanding of complex cultural, social and educational issues.You can choose from more than 20 majors, like Education, History, English and Philosophy,and is a great opportunity to explore a specialised discipline that will benefit your teaching career and sate your natural curiosity. Look forward to hands-on experience at educational facilities as part of your program work, and emerge with the communication skills, creativity, capacity for independent thought, and adaptability you need to thrive in the real world. As well as preparing you to become a primary teacher, this degree is a springboard to other careers outside of teaching, like communication and media industries, psychology and counselling, cultural and social policy analysis, writing and publishing.

Major: History and Political Thought
Since the revival of humanist thought in the Renaissance, universities have placed studies in history and political thought at the centre of exploring what it is to be human.

At the heart of the History and Political Thought major are four compulsory units, which introduce the student to the modern history of humanity (since 1500). Although Europe is very prominent in the major, you will be invited to compare its history to the histories of Asia, Africa and the Americas.

The major culminates in a capstone unit in students’ final semester, discussing historical theories and methods. A wide range of elective units covers European, American, Australian and Asian history and political thought, and includes thematic units which range widely over time and place.
