You can steer your education-focused career into an area of personal passion, with a relevant major or minor from our broad options. Possibilities include:

• community (health, welfare, disability or psychology)
• English (literary studies and teaching English as an additional language)
• humanities (history, cultural or Indigenous studies)
• ICT (digital media)
• maths
• outdoor education
• science specialisations.

Please note: this course does not provide you with the prerequisites for teacher registration.
