You'll graduate from this Teaching (Primary) course from Federation University Australia with the confidence and skills to teach in primary school across Australia and overseas.It's a hands-on course that gets you out into the classroom for a minimum of 60 days where you can put what you've learnt into practice.

You'll discover how children learn and how you can help to develop and support their learning. You'll look at examples from around the world and learn how to best work with children from diverse backgrounds.

We'll help you top up your skills in English maths numeracy and more so that when you start work as a teacher you're as comfortable and qualified as can be. This 2 year degree may be condensed into 18 months of full time study (18 months accelerated study is not available to online-learning students), or 3 years of part-time study (part-time study is not available to international students).

We provide a number of pathways and options to ensure you can follow your dream and become a great teacher. Visit federation.edu.au/become-a-teacher for more information including our interactive study pathways tool.
