Overview

Looking to double your career options?

The Bachelor of Education (Secondary), Bachelor of Arts combines the rigorous foundation of a Southern Cross University teaching degree with the challenging thinking and cultural investigation of an arts degree.

This degree is ideally suited to aspiring teachers with an interest in the arts, who want to develop an expanded scope of practice in areas such as written communication, social theory and history. You will develop a broad understanding of the world and its people, engaging with important social, cultural and political issues.

Students with an interest in the humanities and social sciences, who are looking for a flexible career and good employment prospects, will also find this double degree rewarding.

The Bachelor of Education in this double degree includes extensive professional placement and qualifies you to teach in secondary schools in up to two subjects*. 

The Bachelor of Arts in this double degree offers three exciting majors to tailor your studies, in either Creative Writing, Humanities or Social Sciences. Each major includes a research project with an academic supervisor where you can focus deeply on an area that interests you.

Career opportunities for graduates of this degree are diverse, spanning the fields of teaching and education as well as careers in the cultural and social spheres.

Please note: All students need to attempt the Literacy and Numeracy Test for Initial Teacher Education (LANTITE) in their first year of study.

* This new course is pending final accreditation by NESA.

“I feel fortunate to be their teacher. They are at an age when their personalities are really emerging. They have such humour and curiosity. You can have a joke with them, yet at the same time they are serious about wanting to learn. They are respectful too. We respect each other.”

The Southern Cross Model is a game-changer in higher education study.

Our students now engage in shorter, six-week unit structures designed around immersive and interactive learning experiences. The shorter unit structure gives students a greater sense of momentum as they achieve milestones quickly, resulting in increased student success rates, and course and teacher satisfaction. Lectures are a thing of the past - students will be engaged in active, interactive and discussion-based learning.

On-campus students experience a variety of teaching approaches including lectures, tutorials, online activities and video-linked or podcast virtual classes.

Our online study option is highly interactive and may include a combination of podcast or video-linked lectures, electronic study materials, workshops, online discussion forums and virtual classes.

The method of teaching and assessment may vary from unit to unit.

Career Outcomes

Secondary teaching is a clear pathway from this double degree but so are careers in arts and cultural industries where expert knowledge of teaching and education is an advantage, for example, in curriculum design, museum and cultural activities for schools, writing for younger age groups or social and community services for young people.

Some examples include work as an exhibition organiser, an education journalist or consultant, a community education leader, an environmental educator, a social justice educator, education policy analyst, designer of children’s entertainment, curriculum writer, youth support worker, teacher of English overseas or as a private tutor.  

The Bachelor of Education (Secondary) is pending accreditation from the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA).

Usually, Australian teacher qualifications are recognised internationally, however, students are advised to check with potential employers and teacher registration authorities in other countries regarding overseas accreditation requirements.

Please note: All students need to attempt the Literacy and Numeracy Test for Initial Teacher Education (LANTITE) in their first year of study.

Fees and Scholarships

Domestic students

You are a domestic student if you are an Australian citizen or permanent resident, New Zealand citizen, or Australian humanitarian visa holder. Your course will either be a Commonwealth Supported Place or a full fee-paying place. This is noted in the course snapshot.

Commonwealth Supported Places:

In a Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP), the Government pays some of your fees and you pay the rest as the Student Contribution Amount (SCA).

SCA is calculated per unit, not per course. Eligible students can defer the SCA through a HECS-HELP loan.

Full Fee-Paying Places:

A full fee-paying place is where you pay the full (unsubsidised) tuition fee for your course. Eligible students can defer the payment of their tuition fees through the FEE-HELP scheme (including employer-reserved places for The Hotel School courses).

Also known as SSAF, the Student Services and Amenities Fee is a compulsory fee for most students used to provide important services and amenities to students both on and off campus. It’s charged per unit, based on the unit’s credit point value. Eligible domestic students have the option of deferring this fee through the SA-HELP loan scheme. More about SSAF

Depending on your course, your costs could also include computer equipment and software, books, stationery, field trips, uniforms or other course-specific expenses such as art materials, musical equipment or travel for practicums, internships, vaccinations or industry experience.

Scholarships vary in amount, from a few hundred to several thousand dollars each year. Eligibility isn't limited to top-performing students or those facing financial challenges; there are opportunities for individuals from diverse backgrounds and with different accomplishments. This ensures that education remains accessible to all, changing lives and helping individuals achieve their goals for a brighter future.
