Online Education Secondary Degree :: Accredited Universities

For many of us, those who have influenced us most have been our teachers. We remember them for their enthusiasm in the classroom as the engage with our learning, for building confidence and for their ability to guide and give advice. Teaching is diverse; you are responsible for a future generation’s success not just in the classroom but in your student’s world long after they’ve left school.

At Murdoch University, to graduate as a Secondary teacher you’ll need to choose a combined degree with the Bachelor of Education and either the Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor Science. The Bachelor of Education prepares you as a teacher, your major in the Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science prepares you for your teaching area(s).

A combined degree takes 5 years full‐time study and will see you graduate with two degrees setting you up for a career in teaching and the opportunity to pursue your non‐teaching major in the professional direction.
