Introductory comments
This is an alternative final year of the Bachelor of Education course; one which is offered to
some students by the Faculty of Education at Launceston.
Admission & prerequisites
Students in year three of the Bachelor of Education course are able to express their interest
in undertaking the final year as an honours student. Such students who have attained a
Grade Point Average (GPA) of at least 3.25 on their complete year 3 results as well as
having demonstrated high proficiency in teaching practice may then be invited to join the
honours program. In addition, students should have gained a Credit or better in the
research method module in either EPC352 Curriculum Investigations A or EPC353 Modes
of Curriculum Inquiry A in semester 2 of year 3. It should be noted that the minimum
GPA may be raised at the discretion of the Head of School. Invitations are made by the
Head of School to students in any specialisation of the Bachelor of Education.
Course objectives
The Bachelor of Education (Honours) prepares students for teaching in either the early
childhood or primary specialisation. The course provides students with the opportunity to
engage in educational research at an appropriate level as preparation for future higher
degree study.
Career outcomes
Successful completion of this course should make students eligible for employment as
early childhood/primary teachers. Employment opportunities in other
communication-based careers have been obtained by past graduates. A first class or
second class upper division award within this course provides a pathway into doctoral
level study.
Course structure
The honours year includes most facets of the Bachelor of Education, but makes provision
for students to undertake an honours seminar and dissertation.
Articulation
Students from other universities with prerequisites acceptable to the Faculty may be
accepted as candidates for the Bachelor of Education (Honours) degree.
