This program gives you a strong understanding of complex cultural, social and educational issues.You can choose from more than 20 majors, like Education, History, English and Philosophy,and is a great opportunity to explore a specialised discipline that will benefit your teaching career and sate your natural curiosity. Look forward to hands-on experience at educational facilities as part of your program work, and emerge with the communication skills, creativity, capacity for independent thought, and adaptability you need to thrive in the real world. As well as preparing you to become a primary teacher, this degree is a springboard to other careers outside of teaching, like communication and media industries, psychology and counselling, cultural and social policy analysis, writing and publishing. A major in Organisations and Work provides you with the skills to initiate valued change and contribute in the complex field of management. The development of strategic knowledge provides strong analytical outcomes directed at understanding the impact managers have on organisational decision making. This major also aims to instil values and attitudes that support leaders in judgements about balancing the pursuit of organisational objectives with creating opportunities for developing people’s capacities.
