Back to topDescription (click to hide)

The Bachelor of Education Studies (Exit Only) is an EXIT AWARD ONLY and does NOT qualify students to teach. It is designed to give students who fail the professional component of an Initial Teacher Education degree the chance to graduate with recognition of their completed studies.

Back to topWhy study with us? (click to hide)

The Bachelor of Education Studies (Exit Only) is taught by academics from within the School of Education at the University of Newcastle, whose research is deepening understandings of curriculum, policy, pedagogy, assessment, literacy, learning, and leadership across the education sector.

Back to topCareer Opportunities (click to hide)

Graduates will have well developed research, communication, problem-solving and critical thinking skills focused on educational studies. These skills are valued by employers when making recruitment choices.

Back to topStudy a language (click to hide)

All students can now enrol in an undergraduate Diploma in Languages alongside their main degree program. This diploma will enhance proficiency in another language or languages, and will increase international career opportunities. Subject to course availability, this additional program will generally add an extra year to studies, and students will graduate with a Diploma in Languages as well as their other degree. Please note that all language courses are held on campus (face to face) at Callaghan.

Back to topSpecial Needs (click to hide)

Students with disabilities who require reasonable adjustments to undertake their program should contact the Disability Support Service before semester or early in the semester. Some adjustments need up to 4 weeks lead time to organise, so it is imperative that early contact is made. The Disability Support Service and relevant Faculty and School officers will work together to ensure reasonable adjustments are provided in a timely manner.

Please note: All students must fulfil the inherent requirements of the programs and courses they are undertaking. While reasonable adjustments can be made, these adjustments cannot compromise academic integrity. It is the student's responsibility to check all the requirements of courses, and consider the effects of any medical condition or disability on their ability to complete course requirements. Please visit http://www.newcastle.edu.au/service/disability/ for more information.
