Program aim

The Bachelor of Learning Management programs are new degrees which replace the suite of Bachelor of Education programs. The degrees were developed in partnership with teachers and principals and the programs give students much more school contact than in the past. Students will be given many opportunities to teach in a range of settings. In the final term of their degree, students undertake a ten-week internship. Throughout their studies, students are supported by Learning Managers who are experienced school teachers trained to mentor students. The BLM is a futures-oriented degree that is dedicated to the graduation of 'classroom-ready' teachers who are experts in 'learning' and its management.

Students can undertake an accelerated program over 3 years with extra courses completed during the Spring/Summer Term. Graduating students are eligible to teach in all states of Australia and overseas.

Career options

The BLM (Early Childhood) is a pre-service preparation for those who aim to pursue a career as an early childhood teacher. Students are qualified to teach in day care centres, preschools or pimary schools from Year 1 to 7. Those students who aim to pursue a career within the Catholic Education sector should seek information from the Program Coordinator prior to the commencement of their second year studies. Students are eligible to teach in all states of Australia and overseas.
