Bachelor of Education Studies
Federation University Australia, Ballarat, VIC, Australia
About this program
The Bachelor of Education Studies is FedUni's entry pathway for students who did not meet the subject prerequisites or minimum ATAR for a direct teaching degree. Students who maintain a good academic standard through first year can apply to transfer into the second year of a full Federation University teaching degree, meaning they can still qualify for VIT registration within roughly four years of study overall. The course therefore functions as a genuine on-ramp into a teaching career rather than a standalone terminal qualification.
