Undergraduate Teachers College in Australia

The majority of Canadians wishing to become teachers first complete a Bachelor degree and then undertake a graduate-entry, professional†teacher education program that allows graduates to gain certification as a teacher.

If you have already completed a Bachelor degree and wish to become a teacher, please visit OzTREKK's Graduate-entry Teacher Education web page.

If you have not yet completed a Bachelor degree, you may be interested in studying to be a teacher at the undergraduate level, which generally involves a minimum of four years of study in a Bachelor of Education program.

OzTREKK's Australian universities offer reputable Teacher Education programs, providing our students with a unique and enriching education which allows for an easy transition into the teaching profession within Canada.

At some Canadian universities, students are able to complete concurrent Education programs at the undergraduate level. These Bachelor of Education programs allow students entering university from high school to gain the qualifications to become a teacher through a five-year degree. Commonly, these undergraduate Bachelor of Education programs are combined with another degree, such as a Bachelor of Arts.

Australian universities offer similar Bachelor of Education programs at the undergraduate level. In Australia, professional degrees are normally undertaken straight from high school at the undergraduate level. Bachelor of Education degrees in Australia are normally four years in duration, and suitable to those students who wish to gain entry into a Teacher Education program directly from high school.

Australian universities also offer teacher education programs designed for students who have already completed a Bachelor degree. These†names of these graduate-entry degrees†differ depending on the university, and are usually referred to as Graduate Diploma of Education, Postgraduate Diploma of Education, or Master of Teaching programs. If you have already completed a Bachelor degree and wish to become a teacher, please visit OzTREKK's Graduate-entry Teacher Education web page.
