Introduction to Education & teaching courses

Learn to teach students, from early childhood, to primary and secondary education.

Work with the building blocks of literacy and numeracy. Choose a specialisation—find the beauty in art, explore the wonders of science or celebrate the poetry of English.

Explore the digital world, how it works and its role as a research and delivery tool. Fill your toolbox with the educational skills you need to master lesson plans and curriculum design. Through it all, negotiate the complexities of educational pedagogical theory.
