The Bachelor of Teaching/Bachelor of Arts (Visual Arts) is a double degree for students who want to teach visual arts in secondary schools, such as high schools, and build their skills in visual media.
More than just a teaching degree, this is also a visual arts course where the subjects cover:
two-dimensional media areas such as drawing, painting, printmaking and photography
three- and four-dimensional areas such as sculpture and object design.
Students also gain substantial professional practical experience during the course, such as preparing and curating exhibitions or preparing and developing a commissioned artistic project.
The inclusion of units in theology and religious education will support accreditation to teach religious education.
Students study Visual Arts as a major and will also choose to study another specialisation from the Arts Disciplines:
