Bachelor of Education in Secondary Teaching - Politics

Program Overview

Get the qualification you need to teach students from Years 7 to 12 in a teaching area you’re passionate about.

In addition, you will also choose a second teaching area (known as a minor), with the exception of Health and Physical Education (this must be combined together). By having qualifications in two teaching areas, you will have a competitive advantage with a variety of employers across Australia and overseas.

In this course, you’ll explore the role of education in society, learn how to manage a secondary level classroom, and get valuable experience working in school placements across the secondary years.


Major: Politics
The political landscape is filled with complex issues and systems. Students who study politics need teachers who can help them learn to think critically, communicate effectively and challenge the way things are, to become politically engaged young adults.

Through this course, you will explore the structures and procedures about how different societies function and how citizens exist with them. You’ll explore how our political systems operate in Australia and overseas, how politics influences our lives, and how to make these ideas relevant and engaging to high school students.

You'll graduate qualified to teach Humanities and Social Sciences (HASS) to Year 7-10 secondary students, including Politics to ATAR students in Years 11 and 12.
