Bachelor of Education in Secondary Teaching - History Teaching

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: History Teaching
Learning about history solidifies our understanding and identity in the world. It’s an opportunity to understand the past and apply that understanding to today and the future.

By becoming a qualified Humanities and Social Sciences (HASS) teacher with a specialisation in History, you could help students to learn critical thinking and analytical skills as well as develop empathetic understanding of civilisations and issues which connect us. These skills can be used in their lives and across their own future careers.

As part of your studies, you’ll participate in lectures, tutorials and a range of practical placements.
