The Education Studies Major comprises a foundation pool of units which addresses key issues in contemporary educational thinking and practice, and provides a basis for students to enhance their critical thinking of, and understanding about, Education. Students wishing to utilise their 80 credit points of electives and undertake an elective sub-major in Education Studies should refer to unit set SM1031.1. All students in 1651 - Bachelor of Arts (Pathway to Teaching Primary) and 1671 - Bachelor of Social Science (Pathway to Early Childhood Teaching) must complete the mandatory Education Studies major.
