Study Teaching and TESOL

The Bachelor of Arts provides three innovative pathway courses for students who are interested in pursuing a career as an Early Childhood, a Primary or a High School teacher. Each BA pathway provides entry to a specialised postgraduate Master of Teaching program which when successfully completed will qualify you to teach in Early Childhood, Primary or Secondary Education.

The School of Humanities and Communication Arts also offers a MA in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) program which provides BA graduates with a postgraduate qualification for teaching different adult English courses in Australia and around the world. As the coursework is research-oriented, it opens a pathway to higher degree research programs at Western Sydney University.
