Which course is right for me?
I don't have an undergraduate degree
Apply for one of our education bachelor degrees or double degrees for pre-service teachers.
If you want to study early childhood education, you should choose our Bachelor of Education (Early Childhood) if you want to be a teacher (including Prep year), or our Bachelor of Early Childhood Studies if you want to work in childcare.
I have an undergraduate degree in something else and I want to become a teacher
